Deal Seeking Mom and ABC Home Video are partnering to give five of my wonderful readers a prize package consisting of three family holiday DVDs. Throw in a little hot cocoa and homemade Christmas cookies and you’ll have the makings of a fun family movie night!

Included in the prize package are:

  • Snowglobe – a charming Christmas tale starring Tom Cavanagh and Ashley Williams that will delight the entire family with a sleigh-full of reindeer antics! When Nick Claus’ baby reindeer is stolen, he travels to California’s renowned San Diego Zoo to rescue it – only to find true love in the process!


  • Snow – Christina Milian takes center stage in Snowglobe and “shakes things up” in this delightful seasonal tale. The holiday magic comes alive when Angela, played by Christina Milian, inherits her grandmother’s antique snow globe and finds she is able to leave her dreary, ordinary existence and travel to the idyllic Christmas-y world inside the wondrous globe!


  • Holiday in Handcuffs – an original movie about a ne’er-do-well 30-something who attempts to appease her family by kidnapping an attractive boyfriend to bring home for Christmas!  Despite the unlikely odds, the two share a “merry” special holiday…and manage to fall in love!

    My favorite I make are Chocolate Crinkles…little chocolate cookies rolled in powdered sugar. I also love Tea Cookies which I buy. I think that is the name. They are white and nuts in them.

    My all time favorite cookies are Whoopie Pies!!

    Whoopie Pies Receipe
    Ingredients

    For cakes

    * 2 cups all-purpose flour
    * 1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
    * 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
    * 1 teaspoon salt
    * 1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla
    * 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
    * 1 cup packed brown sugar
    * 1 large egg

    For filling

    * 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
    * 1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar
    * 2 cups marshmallow cream such as Marshmallow Fluff
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla

    Preparation

    Make cakes:
    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until combined. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a small bowl.

    Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a standing mixer or 5 minutes with a handheld, then add egg, beating until combined well. Reduce speed to low and alternately mix in flour mixture and buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with flour, scraping down side of bowl occasionally, and mixing until smooth.

    Spoon 1/4-cup mounds of batter about 2 inches apart onto 2 buttered large baking sheets. Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are puffed and cakes spring back when touched, 11 to 13 minutes. Transfer with a metal spatula to a rack to cool completely.

    Make filling:
    Beat together butter, confectioners sugar, marshmallow, and vanilla in a bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.

    Assemble pies:
    Spread a rounded tablespoon filling on flat sides of half of cakes and top with remaining cakes.

    My mom used to make these pepermint cookies in the shapes of candy canes with candy canes crushed on top.

    This may be boring but my favorite is good old fashioned Chocolate chip. I don’t know if this counts as a Christmas cookie but it’s still my favorite! Just add red and green m&m’s!

    Sometimes called Snowballs or Mexican Wedding cookies, these are a small round white cookie with chopped nuts, rolled in powdered sugar. They melt in your mouth. I can never eat just one.
