DAY 5: Peanut Butter Paw Prints
These are fun cookies to make with kids. Use regular-sized chocolate chips for the small pads of the pawprint, and larger chocolate disks (I used dark chocolate melting chocolate wafers) for the large pad.
Use a very small cookie scoop (or make 1” balls) so that the paw print pattern covers most of the cooked cookie.
These cookies are made from a peanut butter cookie dough. If you want a nut-free cookie base, try this recipe:
For a more anatomically correct bear paw print, you should use 5 small chocolate chips, but I thought that looked too crowded, so I stuck with 3. For puppy paw prints, use 4 small chocolate chips.

DAY 8: Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
With both oatmeal and peanut butter, and no flour, these certainly count as a healthy cookie, right? They are super chewy and hearty enough that one is definitely satisfying.

Welcome to the 14th Annual Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies!
DAY 1: Caramel Peanut Butter Thumbprints
A soft peanut butter cookie, filled with homemade caramel, drizzled with dark chocolate, and then sprinkled with chopped peanuts.
If you like Snickers candy bars, you will love these cookies!
The homemade caramel filling makes more caramel than you will need for 1 batch of cookies. Once I open a can of sweetened condensed milk, I like to use the whole thing, so I always make a full batch of the caramel filling. You could halve the caramel recipe or make 2 batches of the peanut butter cookie dough, but I usually use part of the caramel in this recipe and the rest to make Chocolate Caramel Thumbprints. It is also great drizzled over ice cream or pie.
While we are cooking and baking this Christmas season, I hope that you will also remember that in addition to needing cookies, The World Needs Your Light!
RECIPE:
This shredded pork wrap filling can be made in an Instant Pot or slow cooker. The pork is seasoned with a soy peanut marinade and makes a flavorful meal everyone will love. Top with chopped peanuts and julienned cucumbers for a great crunch.
Serve in tortillas for wraps. For a low-carb meal, use Bibb or Butter lettuce leaves for lettuce wraps, or serve on a bed of chopped lettuce.
