52 Weeks of Cookies Marksville Style Week 1 Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Chip Cookies

52 Weeks

of Cookies 

Marksville Style

Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Chip Cookies 

Ingredients 

1 cup of butter flavored Crisco 

3/4 cup of granulated sugar

3/4 cup of packed brown sugar 

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

2 eggs

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of salt

2 cups of milk chocolate chips I used one whole package of Hershey's chips

1 10oz package of Hershey's Sea Salt Caramel Baking chips or 1-2/3 cups of another seas salt caramel baking chip if you can find them. 

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees

2. Beat Butter, granulated, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Add eggs, beat well. In a separate bowl stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until well blended, then stir in chips.  I scoop out with a a 1/2 tablespoon into balls onto baking sheets

3.Bake for 9 minutes for crunchy cookies and 8 minutes for chewy cookies. My batch made just shy of 6 dozen cookies. 

I hope you enjoyed our first batch of cookies for 2019 and will join us each week as we make a new batch. This cookie took a milk chocolate cookie mix my husband loves and added in Sea Salt Caramel Baking Chips to take it to another level. You can play with the Crisco and change it to butter of course omitting the salt or use unsalted and keep the salt, you can also add nuts if you like. 

We had 7 taste testers for this recipe and we had thumbs up all around and of course empty glasses of milk too. Let me know below if you will try this or have tried it and how it worked for you. Also if you have any cookie recipe suggestions please send me some ideas my email is at the bottom of the page.

Making Ornaments

Every year we add a few more decorations to the tree, as well as buying a decoration for each child to add to their own set that they will have when they move out on their own someday. 

Some of the older children have already taken their ornaments with them and are already adding to theirs each year on their own. I hope they will continue the tradition with their own children.

This year the girls made ornaments down at the Library and we have a set to make here at home. I am going to sit down and make this Nutcracker Guard. This particular ornament reminds me of my oldest and first born who fell in love with the nutcracker over 26 years ago. I can't wait to see what it looks like on our tree.

I love that this set comes with almost everything you need to make this nutcracker ornament. You will need to just use just a bit of glue to adhere the mustache and beard to the nutcracker as well as a piece of ribbon to thread through the eyelet on the top of hat so you can hang it your tree or in a window. This is great for both children or adults. This would be a nice family craft as there are several different designs available from Master Pieces here or you can get the exact one I have here which is the Guard. There are even full size Nutcrackers and other Holiday Crafts here . Master Pieces has many different Games, Puzzles, and Gifts to choose from.
