Graham cracker reindeer

'Tis the season to bake and craft!  We made these fun graham cracker reindeer from This Mama Loves this week and they were a big hit!   The kids had a lot of fun assembling these- and eating them, of course!  (I couldn't find large pretzel twists anywhere so we made do with minis). 

Note: These don't really work as a make-ahead cookie.  The kids took them in their school lunches the next day, but the chocolate no longer worked as a glue and the add-ons fell off at the slightest touch.

Skillet chocolate chip cookie

This skillet chocolate chip cookie is my new go-to recipe.  It's super easy, and there's just something fun about making your very own cookie cake!  I've made it for parties, decorated and personalized, and I've also served it as-is for casual dinner parties and even play dates- every day is a good day for cookie cake!
