Here is a great idea for holiday treats. It may be a little too late to get these for this Christmas but I thought this is a great idea for house warming or hostess gifts. And the free shipping promotion is still on so if you are interested you should pick up some of these tins!The list of supplies for this particular project are listed here but you can jazz up this tin with anything. What you need to know really is that there is a strip of cardstock wrapping around the tin (here Night of Navy) with some silver elastic cord around it and a rub-on (p. 178-179 of catalogue) on the tin itself. If you vary the colours and sayings you can have a tin for any occasion.
Because I thought this was such a fantastic idea I decided to share my newest favourite cookie recipe - Chocolate Mint Truffle Cookies!
You need:
4 oz unsweetened chocolate
3 oz semisweet chocolate
3/4 cup butter
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp mint extract
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 mini chocolate chips
1/3 cup crushed candy canes
Melt chocolate and butter in pot over low heat. Stir in sugar and extract. Add eggs one at a time, making sure each one is incorporated before adding the next. Add baking powder and flour. Stir in chocolate chips.
Cover and chill for 2 hours. Roll dough by heaping teaspoons into balls. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350°F until slightly firm to the touch. Remove from oven and sprinkle with candy cane pieces.
Apparently the recipe makes about 9 dozen but I only ever get 4 dozen and I've made this a lot this season!

I have read some of your posts. I liked the same and would like to read more from you.
If you like short stories and paintings, then a short visit to my blogs would be an entertaining one.
