Butterscotch Confetti Squares
Ingredients for an 8 x 8 batch:
¼ cup butter
½ cup peanut butter
1 cup butterscotch chips
250 g bag colored mini marshmallows
Directions
Melt butter and peanut butter over LOW heat, stir in butterscotch chips and melt stirring constantly. Cool mixture a bit if necessary before adding marshmallows. I use a pot with a thicker bottom so as to ensure they melt slowly and the mixture doesn’t get hot.
Note: Do not add marshmallows if the mixture is too warm as all will go to the bottom and the marshmallows will float on top......a little tip.
Add marshmallows and stir until they are well coated. Press into an 8x8 pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate and cut into squares.
Note: I usually double the recipe and put it in a 9×13 pan.
To make Chocolate Confetti Squares just substitute milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of butterscotch chips.

Christmas Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1 stick salted butter (1/2 cup) (melted in microwave for about 25 seconds or until completely melted)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla
1⅔ cups all purpose white flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon (do ¼ or ½ a tsp the first time if you're not sure if you're a huge cinnamon fan)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup Christmas red/green/white mix sprinkes (flat confetti sprinkles taste better texture wise than the harder sprinkles, but either will work)
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir together well with a fork.
In a large mixing bowl add melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix together until combined. Add egg mix well followed by the vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon stir in chocolate chips and sprinkles until combined.
Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scooper (or make two tablespoon mounds) and place on cookie sheets. It should make 16 cookies.
Bake for 11 minutes, remove from oven, and keep the cookies on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes to finish "baking". They will be super soft still, but move them to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
If you like your cookies a tad bit less ooey gooey. Bake for 12 minutes then let them sit for at least 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
*If your oven runs hotter or colder adjust time accordingly.
