Cookie Baking Night 7/20



Tonight was Cookie Baking Night. Carissa and Ethan were the two participants this evening. It is our tradition that when a child has a birthday (on a Cookie Baking Night near their birthday) they get to choose the meal for that evening and choose the cookie we make. Carissa's birthday was in the beginning of July (she's 4 years old now), so tonight was her choice. The menu was pizza, french fries, and strawberries (french fries always seem to show up on the birthday dinners, pizza and french fries, spaghetti and french fries, tacos and french fries.....). The cookie choice was "the one with the prenzel (pretzel) and the M&M".

Recipe:
Small pretzel twists
Hershey Hugs
M&Ms

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Place waxed paper or parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Line the pretzels up in rows on the cookie sheet. Place an unwrapped hug (candy) on top of each pretzel. Melt the candy in the oven (200 degrees) for 4 minutes. Remove the pretzels from the oven and promptly place an M&M on top of each candy covered pretzel. Chill for about 30 minutes (until candy hardens). Remove from pan and eat.
