Chocolate Dipped Maple Logs or Crescents by AmyHinCT
chocolate dipped maple logs or crescents
as the case may be. This recipe is the first in my quest to find the perfect maple chocolate chip cookie.
1 c. butter softened
1 c. powdered sugar
2 egg yolks
2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp maple extract
chocolate chips (1 cup for dipping, plus extra for cookies)
Preheat oven to 375. Cream butter, sugar and egg yolks in large bowl. Beat in flour and maple extract until well mixed. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place about 4-5 chocolate chips into each ball (sorry, this is my addition and I couldn't figure out how much to add!)Roll balls into 2 inch ropes, tapering on each end. You may form them into a crescent shape, if you wish. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until set but not browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Melt chocolate chips in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling water. Dip one end of each crescent in melted chocolate. Place onwaxed paper; cool until chocolate is set.
The Verdict:Pretty good, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going to try mini chocolate chips next time and regular sugar instead of powdered!

Buckeyes by kimmer89 and JeanieP
Buckeyes (Peanut Butter Balls)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wasn't sure what category to put this under. This goodie is something my family makes at Christmas time. Is there a category for Christmas goodies? Or can we start one? Thanks Julie!!!!!
1 stick margarine
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
6 oz. chocolate chips
1/4 paraffin wax
Mix margarine, powdered sugar and peanut butter until mealy. Roll into small balls. Melt choc. chips and wax in double boiler and keep over low heat. Dip each peanut butter ball into the choc. mixture. Place on parchment paper and refrigerate until chocolate has hardened.
These are also great to make ahead and keep in the freezer. Of course, I end up eating them straight from the freezer and have to make another batch before Christmas.

Addition by JeanieP
My recipe was different
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I got this recipe from a friend, it listed one more ingredient: several children to make balls.
Then at the end, it said, "Get rid of last ingredient before all buckeyes are gone."
We love these, and when we lived in Ohio, we found out they look just like buckeyes, which is where they got their name from.

White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge by MaeinTX
White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
1-1/2 sticks butter/margarine
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup (5-oz can) PLUS 1 TBSP evaporated milk
1 (12-oz) pkg White Chocolate chips (I like Nestle Premium White Chocolate chips)
1 (7-oz) jar marshmallow crème
1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)
strong peppermint oil- I used a lot, probably 1/2 tsp or so, but the recipe called for few drops to strength desired. I bought Kroger's brand. Be careful inhaling as you stir it in- it was eye watering.
Butter a 9x13 baking dish. Mix butter, sugar, and milk in a heavy, 3-quart pot; bring to a full rolling boil on MEDIUM heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling four minutes on MEDIUM heat, or until candy thermometer reaches 234F, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; gradually stir in chips until melted. Add marshmallow crème and vanilla and peppermint oil.
Pour half (for tw-toned) or three-fourths (for swirled) of the funde in a baking dish- and then add red food coloring (I used Wilton icing coloring) to the reserved fudge, then either swirl the red into the white fudge or pour on top to make it two-toned.
I noticed on the Kraft Marshmallow crème this year that their recipe does not call for the extra Tbsp of canned milk. I add it anyway. I think that may be what keeps the fudge nice and creamy instead of crumbly. I think their older recipe called for the extra evaporated milk. I also prefer to line my baking dish with parchment or wax paper instead of buttering the dish. I chill it overnight and then plop it out upside down and cut it up.
I used a small circle cutter and cut the "mint fudge" and then wrapped each piece in parchment paper for giving. Everyone called and said it was yummy and wanted the recipe.

Cranberry-Orange Pinwheels by Linderlou
These are so yummy that I have a hard time not eating them all instead of including them in Christmas goodie packages.
Cranberry-Orange Pinwheels
1 cup cranberry
1 cup pecans
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1½ cups granulated sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
3 cups all-purpose flour
In a blender container or food processor bowl combine cranberries, pecans and brown sugar. Cover and blend or process until cranberries and nuts are finely chopped; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in as much of the flour as you can. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Roll half of the dough between pieces of waxed paper into a 10-inch square. Spread half of the filling over dough square to within 1/2 inch of the edges; roll up dough. Moisten edges; pinch to seal. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 4 to 24 hours. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut rolls into ¼-inch slices. Place slices 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are light brown. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
