FALL TREATS: Acorn Cookies, Hershey Kisses & Nutter Butter Cookies

Have you made these cute little acorn cookies yet? They are super easy to make. 

The perfect treat for Halloween, Fall and Thanksgiving.  Also an excellent treat

 to put in the kid's lunchbox When we made these yummy cookies,

 the children helping that day were 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 years old. Fun was had by all! 

 We made our acorn cookies with the a Caramel Hershey Kiss.

 They were amazing!  You could also use the new Pumpkin Spice Kiss or a Chocolate Kiss.

Here are your ingredients. 

Mini Nutter Butter cookies

 Caramel Hershey Kiss and 

Mini chocolate chips

Using just the top of a Nutter Butter cookie looks great 

and you can get more acorn cookies per bag. 

The creamy center of the cookie comes right off.

We wanted to use regular sized chocolate chips (because that's what we always have on hand) 

 I think they looked nice too.  The butterscotch mini chocolate chips are another choice.

 Melt your chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave and use as glue for 

the kiss and chocolate chip on top.  You know, it might be easier to put your melted 

chocolate in an icing bag and just put a drop of glue (chocolate) on the top and 

bottom of the cookie and then add the Hershey kiss and the chocolate chips. 

That way there would be no excess. I found I had to do all the tops (mini chocolate chips) 

first and let them set and then do it again with the Hershey Kiss.

Then there is this fun recipe from Hershey  called Kisses Acorn Cookies,

 that looks super easy to do too.  The perfect Thanksgiving activity for the kids.

The Best Tip for Softening Butter Quickly Plus the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

 When I saw this tip about softening butter and I just had to try it. It's perfect for the times when you need softened butter quickly but don't want it melted.  At our house someone is always "Can we make cookies"  and of course the butter is never soft and ready to use, so we have to wait until it gets soft and who can wait that long when you're wanting a warm and delicious chocolate chip cookie right now?

Here's the process:  Fill a pan with water and bring it to a boil, you could even let it boil for a minute or so.  Then fill a cup or a mason jar with the water.  Let the water sit in the cup/jar for a minute until the jar gets really hot!  Then dump out the water and place the cup over the butter and onto a plate.

Fresh out of the fridge

Now it's softened

In the first experiment I took the butter out of the paper wrapper.  There was a little bit of melted butter on the plate when all was said and done but the butter was definitely softened and ready to use. 

 In the second experiment we left the paper on the butter and it worked out just fine. That's the method I would recommend, but with either method you get soft butter.  It may take up to 5 minutes or so but that is so much quicker than just letting it sit out and soften that way.

Here are the cookies that we made with the softened butter.  They are called the Ultimate Chocolate Chip cookies. I love this recipe because it only calls for 1 cube of butter. Most recipes call for 2 cubes of butter and that can get expensive. I use a small ice cream scoop and can get about 35 cookies out of this recipe. It is such a yummy cookie.  I've practically got the recipe memorized I've made it so many times. I'm so happy to have finally found a recipe that turns out so nice and tastes so good!
