esterday the girls and I made these amazing pumpkin cookies. They just might possibly be my new favorite cookie. Yup. Pumpkin. My favorite….. shocking since there isn’t a trace of chocolate in them!

If you were going to do just one more recipe for the holidays I would highly recommend this one. They are melt in your mouth soft and the maple icing is perfectly sweet. Yum!

Now, here’s where I keep it real….

Mars bars were one of my favorite chocolate bars growing up. When I was little I played Ringette and after every game my Dad would stop at 7-eleven and treat me to a drink and a chocolate bar. Most days I would choose an iced tea and the chocolate bar was always either Mars Bars or Areo.

Which is probably why I love this recipe so much. Melted mars bars and chocolate topping. Yup, that’s my kind of combo.

I had hoped to post this earlier in the month but I somehow lost a little steam in my Christmas prep once we hit December and actually just finished these baskets over the weekend.

This morning the girls and I went for a fun baking date with two very lovely ladies.

We poured and we mixed and we rolled and we cut and we even managed to keep some of the batter out of our little mouths!
After a very messy process (sorry Lacey!) we made some cute little Christmas cookies.
