If I remember correctly last year I did 'The Twelve Recipes of Christmas'....Here's #2 for this year.
Macaroon Sandwich Cookies
1 tube Pillbury Sugar cookie dough
1.5 c. shredded coconut
1 tsp. coconut extract.
4 squares baking chocolate
3 T. milk
Set cookie dough out for one hour to get to room temp.
Combine cookie dough, coconut, and extract in kitchen aid mixer. Run until thoroughly blended. Refridgerate for 30 mins.
Remove dough from fridge. Make 1/2" balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until edges are just golden.
In microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate squares and 3T. milk on low. Stop microwave several time to stir until smooth.
When cookies are cool, put 1/2 tsp chocolate icing on one cookie and top with additional cookie. YUM!!!!

The Top Ten Right Now
These are the things that are rocking my world right now, in no particular order
1. Cream of Wheat made with Vanilla Almond milk, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. It is just the thing for dinner on a cold, rainy night.
2. That I found $130 worth of toys at the thrift store today....spent $16. A lot of happiness will happen Christmas morning for a minimal expense.
3. Finding out that Palmolive Eco dishwasher soap works just as good as the soap I'd been using...half the price.
4. Hosting a holiday market at my house in a week.
5. Seeing history somewhat repeat itself in my child loving, laughing and fighting with her cousins.
6. My little man finding new words every day....todays word, 'noon l' (noodle)
7. Fantastic impromptu playdates that last longer than intended because the kiddos are playing nice. The fabulous coffee and mommy talk that comes with that.
8. Having all THREE Christmas Trees up and decorated before December 1st. Yes, we have three. Rich's, mine, and one for Nora. I guess at some point we will have to get a 4th for Trent.
9. Nora helping me clean out her toys to give away to charity.
10. Being focused on making memories this holiday season. Sometimes, it's good to forget all the pomp and circumstance and soak up the feeling of hope, joy and love.
