When I do bazaar stuff this time of year I make the 2-step fudge recipe...really good, very easy, and you can use it as a booking tool...I'll bring it to your show along with the recipe.
1 bag of choc chips
1 can choc frosting
Melt chips and then stir in frosting. I spread in parchment paper lined sm bar pan. Cool and cut in small bite size pieces (this makes a ton by the way).
You can do peanut butter chips and vanilla frosting too.

If you have a cookie press take a box of cake mix 11 oz of flour and whisk to break up lumps. Melt 2 sticks of butter, add 2 sticks of butter sliced and whisk until all lumps are gone. Pour butter into cake mixture and stir well. Press cookies and if can top with sprinkles or leave plain (makes a TON of cookies).
You could also add almond or vanilla extract, roll the cookies in grated almonds and make fabulous drop cookies.

from a cookbook I assembledCookie Baking Tips - awesome; I print it on YELLOW card stock at Kinkos, offer for anyone who purchases or books. I have a copy in sheet protectors I let people leaf through. CHANGE TO YOUR INFO!The SPRITZ cookie is a great way to show the cookie press. Remember to turn the disc in your press so the flat side is OUT - to cut off the dough as it comes out of the machine. Think - funnel, rounded side against the inside dough; flat side against the outside cookie. Remember the HO tip to SSS your flour...
-Stir - aerate the flour in a bag or in your flour bin by wisking the top 4-5 inches
-Spoon - lift the aerated flour by a spoon into your meas.cup
-Scrape - mound the flour in your cup, then scrape off the top with a flat edge.
This gives you lightest volume of flour...essential for spritz.Other recipes - thank you Better Homes/Gard! God Bless!-praying for Paige and her family-

I love making these for the holidays. My husband is not a big fan of gingerbread, but he likes these. Plus, they are some of the only ones I can get to work in the Cookie Press!

Iced Gingerbread Cookies

1 package (18 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 teaspoon Pantry Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
3-4 teaspoons milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crumble cookie dough into Classic Batter Bowl. Add flour, molasses and spice blend; mix until completely blended using Small Mix ‘N Scraper. Using Large Scoop, fill Cookie Press with dough. Fit press with disk #4, 5, 7, or 14, making sure the number on the disk is facing outward, away from the dough. Press dough onto flat Baking Stone, 1-inch apart. Bake 12-14 minutes or until cookies are set and edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes on baking stone; remove to Stackable Cooling Rack. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough. In Small Batter Bowl, combine powdered sugar and enough milk to make a thick icing. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Decorate as desired with colored sugar crystals, sprinkles, or nuts. Let stand until icing is set.

My favorite holiday variation on the 2-step fudge listed above is this...

Peppermint Fudge
1 can full-fat creamy vanilla frosting
1 package white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 Tablespoons crushed peppermint candies
red food coloring

Heat frosting over low/medium-low heat, then add in chocolate chips until they melt. Remove from heat, add in peppermint extract. Line small bar pan or square baker with parchment paper and pour in fudge. Put a few drops of red food coloring on top, then cut through it with Quikcut Paring knife to make a swirled design. Use the Food Chopper to crush the peppermint candies in the lid, then sprinkle on top. Refrigerate to harden. Lift parchment paper out and place on cutting board to cut and serve.

This fudge is really rich. I cut it into 1 inch squares.
