Candle Cookies

I spent my lunch break at Star Market, hunting down the ingredients for all of the cooking I needed to do later tonight.

I snacked on an apple when I got back from the store.

And after reading Tweets about everyone’s chocolate cravings, I had to have some too!

As soon as I got home, I started working on my recipes.  I made raviolis using Nasoya Egg Roll Wraps.

I filled my raviolis with ground turkey.  I used a little bit of water to seal the edges, then threw the pan in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

I was too hungry to wait it out so I made a sandwich using ground turkey, cheddar cheese, sprouts, and pickles on an Arnold Thin.

Finally it was time for the taste test:  Mmm mmm good!

I moved on to my Candle Cookies.  I had a lot of work to do to get these ready for the Sweet Swap at work  tomorrow.

Candle cookies with dripping frosting wax!

So proud of myself!  I love my little holiday candles!

I attempted to film my Nasoya video but couldn’t get the lighting right.  Then my camera battery died.  Ugh.  In the meantime, I made a batch of Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies for my department’s party on Thursday.  Very pleased with how they turned out, but because of the dead battery, I don’t have any photos.

I’m exhausted so I’ll add a quick post with both recipes in the morning.  After so much cooking and baking, I know I’ll have sweet dreams!

    A sandwich is not a sandwich unless there are spouts! Those cookies are too cute.

    Those cookies are insane! I want to eat all the frosting right off the screen. I love frosting in case you didn’t know that ;)

    I hope you’ll post the video! Have fun at the sweet swap.
