What I'm Reading This Week #28

Hello and Happy Friday my beautiful peeps!  Well, I guess I'm glad we did the tree last weekend because just as we were getting ready to leave Monday for a nursery field trip, the HOA maintenance dude shows up- no call, no email, just hoping we were home with no real knowledge of what needed to be done.  He chatted with the Mr, did a few caulks and took pics to get it submitted for siding replacement.  After that we got on the road to go to this big nursery.  Am I the only one that sweats off their sunscreen in sheets??  I swear I probably looked like I was having a stroke to passersby.  So I bought some powder sunscreen for our faces hoping that will help.  I was bummed this one great powder foundation I used years ago isn't around anymore since it had built in spf so I hope this stuff is comparable. Did a lot of stuff in the garden and it cracks me up how such a small space can take up so much of my time when I have chores to do.  The Mr's ban...

Snickerdoodle Truffles

I thought I'd give y'all a break from chocolate today.

Just today.

I was grabbing some ingredients for another recipe and I saw this box of mini Nilla wafers that I bought for an accent to a game day recipe.  I literally used 14 of them and had almost a full box on hand and knew I was probably going to end up throwing them out.  Uh no...I'm not having it especially when the Mr's co-workers are whining about no treats from me this year.  So I turned potential trash into easy peasy treasure.




Here's what you'll need:

A box of Nilla Wafers (mini or otherwise)
2 tsp cinnamon (divided)
1/4 cup Almond or other shelf stable milk
1/4 cup (or less) sugar  (granulated or sparking)


Add your wafers to a food processor or blender.


Add 1 tsp of cinnamon.


Pulse until they are crumbs.


Add 1/4 cup of almond milk to the crumbs.


Give 'em a whirl until the dough pulls from the sides.


Check the consistency by squishing it in your hand to make sure it sticks together and won't crumble apart when rolled.


Ready your cinnamon sugar by putting the sugar and remaining cinnamon in a bowl and stirring until combined.


Grab a small cookie scoop to keep portions in control.


Squish the dough in your hand, bringing out the moisture in the dough, and roll it into a ball.


Plop them into the cinnamon sugar to coat and repeat.


Serve on a pretty plate and watch them disappear!  Little bites of classic cookie heaven in a truffle!

      I know we both thought they were pretty dang good! The vanilla that's already in there and then the addition of cinnamon. Boo-ya! Delish!

      That's my motto this year...super easy. I was lazy, I'm paying for it but it's forcing me to come up with things that are quick to do with things holidays bakers may already have on hand.

      Easy peasy baby! Good thing is you can make 'em any time of year. I suggest giving some to your boss when a review is coming up or when you're about to hit someone up for a favor! :-)

    These look so tasty and easy! I love snicker doodles, but sometimes I just don't have the time to make them. These look very doable, and I love that they use up a box of something left over. As usual, ALL of your treats this year look delicious...I've been pinning, pinning, pinning! Thanks for sharing 😊
    P.S. I think of you and my Grammy every time I see my gumdrop tree. Did you put yours out this year? (And I mean that as a huge compliment - not saying you're old! All good memories...)

      Yes, I was glad I didn't have to throw out the box of almost full cookies and they're already gone at the Mr's work which might be a record. Thanks so much for pinning! Glad you like them!

      Yes, I have the gumdrop tree up and it was taken as a compliment! ;) It's on the armoire where everyone can see it. I did redo the makeshift base they gave me with a little fancy paper, clear glitter and washi tape.

    I've been kind of feeling guilty that I'll have no time for holiday baking this year, but these are totally doable! :D

    Another gem! I notice I'm usually the last one to respond on your blogs because I don't get to log on at home until about 6pm. You just wait until a I have a day off missy (or Mrs) I'm going to be on the top of the list! =o)

      Thanks mama! I know and I do try to make it back over here to respond when I'm not having a brain fart. When you comment earlier, I'm always like "ahh, she has some time off!" :-)

    I've got a couple bags of Biscoff cookies in my pantry and was wondering how they would taste prepared this way. My guess? Delicious. I'm gonna try it cause I don't need those cookies sitting around tempting me after Christmas.

      Oh yeah babe. I grind up Biscoff's to make pie crust and truffles. You can also add the crumbs to peanut butter for some crunch, a topping for a sundae, etc.
