Okay, no crockpot today! Here's one of our family's favourite holiday cookies.
1 package lemon cake mix with pudding in the mix
2 1/4 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 egg
Powdered sugar
In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, whipped topping and egg.
Beat on medium speed until blended.
Batter will be very sticky.
Drop by teaspoonfuls into the powdered sugar, roll lightly to coat.
Place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
YIELD: 4-5 dozen small cookies.
I make larger cookies and get about 3 dozen from this recipe.
When these come out of the oven, they have cracked open across the top and resemble snowflakes!
Very pretty and very yummy!

Quick Candy Apple Slices
Posted by Sheri
You will need Granny Smith or Jonathon Apples for this recipe - you really need a tart apple to counter the sweetness of this.
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 stick butter
1 16 oz. pkg. caramels
Unwrap package of caramels and place in microwave safe bowl.
Add butter and can milk.
Put in microwave for several minutes, careful not to scorch it.
Pull it out and stir it every so often.
Leftovers can be kept in the frig and reheated in microwave.
Drizzle this over sliced apples or even popcorn - and have cream cheese on the side to serve with it.
