Cold Weather, Warm(full) Belly

This afternoon was a cooking and baking kind of afternoon.  I was in the mood for some serious comfort food and Tim has been requesting his favorite childhood Christmas cookie, so I put on my apron {literally, my Grandma has made me a few} and got started!

Both of these recipes were easy to make, but had a bit of prep...I was chopping nuts for the Hershey Snowball Cookies and getting the crust ready for Chicken Pot Pie



I have eaten this chicken pot pie on many occasions at the Skoog's house.  I was always excited when I would go to their house to nanny and D would have this little treasure in the fridge.  This was my first time making it.  It was easy and perfect for a cold night.
 I got the filling all ready.....sauteed chicken, veggies and the best part, flaky pie crust soaking in a delicious gravy! 
 




It was picture perfect and tasted even better!  Tim and I {and Baby Love} finished over half of it in one sitting.  I could have kept going, but I wanted to wake up and have something to look forward to at lunch.
While the pot pie was baking I started on the cookies. 


With a little help of course :)

 
Again, these were a first for me.  They remind me of a buttery shortbread cookie.  If it was filled with almonds and a dark chocolate kiss and then rolled in powdered sugar :) 

 
Honestly, I wasn't super impressed with them, but Tim said they were just like when he was little.  So I'd say mission accomplished!
