Sorry, no pictures. The hubby and I cleaned our apartment for a Christmas party we held last weekend and by "cleaned" I mean, we threw everything to our extra bedroom, and now I can't find my camera cable, cord thing. So here is the recipe, just in time for a little holiday snack, treat, gift, appetizer, or midnight munchies satisfier.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
3 cups raw almonds
1/2 tbs ground cinnamon
1/4 cup water
1 long strip of wax or parchment paper
In a medium skillet, toss together sugar, cinnamon, and water. Over medium heat, add in your almonds and stir until every little piece of almond is covered in the cinnamony, sugary, goodness. Continue to stir until your sugar starts to crystallize. Now lay out your parchment or wax paper and pour those babies out on to it to cool. Once they've cooled, package them as you please :)

Rolo Cookies
Yes, that's right. It's a rolo, and a cookie! And they're so good. My husband has already eaten half the batch that just came out of the oven. Can't blame him though :) I first made these cookies 3 years ago for Christmas and I've been making them every Christmas since. I think they're my tradition cookies now. Hope you enjoy them
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups salted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cups cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 package (48 ct) rolos, unwrapped
1/4 cup sugar for rolling cookies in
Preheat oven to 350. In a mixer combine butter and 1 3/4 cups sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Mix in flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
What you'll need to complete the cookie
Place 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Take a inch size dough ball (about a TBS size). Place an unwrapped rolo in the center and cover in dough. Next roll the rolo cookie ball in the sugar.
Then place on a greased, or silpat, cookie sheet.
Bake for 7-9 minutes (8 minutes is perfect for me) Let them cool on baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
