My Sugar Cookies Decorated with Royal Icing for the First time

I wanted to do one more post; mainly because I wanted to share what the sugar cookies looked like after they were finished. I think they turned out pretty good for the first time, and everyone enjoyed them very much. So, here they are I hope you enjoy them. They were a lot of fun to make. This is my last post for 2011. Happy New Year!

Snowball Truffles

It has been a little while since my last post. It has been very busy around here. Now things are starting to calm down and I am finally able to post my Christmas sweets posts. I have two, this one is a recipe and the other one are sugar cookies that I decorated for the fisrt time and I wanted to share the results.

These are white chocolate truffles coated in powdered sugar and coconut. They are very simple but very good. So, I'm going to get right to this one. Please note that I took this recipe from my white chocolate lime truffles and left out the lime.


          What you need:
         
            11 ouces of white chocolate chips

            1/2 cup heavey cream

           sweetened coconut
      
           powdered sugar (icing sugar)


         What to do:


1. In a sauce pan bring heavy whipping cream to a boil.

2. In a heat safe bowl pour in white chocolate chips. Pour whipping cream over white chocolate and stir until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. Scoop the mixter and roll it into a ball, about the size of a walnut, Put truffles onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and put into the freezer for 15 minutes.

4. One at a time roll the truffles in either the coconut or the powdered sugar. Put into an air tight container and refrigerate. Makes about 10-12.
