    Had to laugh bearisgray, all my cookies are "Overly handled". My last name is Overly.

    I'm a cookie exchange drop out. We welcomed younger women,but the cookies just weren't worth trading for.
    Not that mine were perfect,but several brought store bought cookies.They can be great,but never made it to the exchange.Anyway,I like making cookies for family & friends.Just ran out of interest.

    It is just 3 of us. We tried to get others to join us but so far no takers. We still enjoy our time together.

    A favorite cookie of mine at Christmas is Tingalings. Super easy to make, although you need some space in the frig to chill them. Here's the recipe.

    Melt 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups or small package). I do this in the microwave a minute or two at a time. Note that it's important to take out and stir, as the top can look as if they are not melted when they actually are, and you do *not* want to burn the chocolate! Using a very big bowl because it gets messy, stir in 4 cups of Wheaties. Drop by the tablespoonful onto waxed-paper lined cookie sheets. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours or in freezer for less time. You can substitute other types of chips and other types of wheat flakes, but this is my personal favorite.

    These are delicious, look good, last a long time in tins, and are fun for kids to make.

    This is really easy and yummy.

    2- 6 oz pkg. butterscotch chips
    1 cup salted peanuts
    2 cups Chinese noodles (10 oz can)
    Melt butterscotch chips. Stir in peanuts and noodles until coated. Use a spoon to plop on wax paper. Let cool and set up. Voila a tasty treat.
