This year during Halloween we “Boo-ed” a few of our neighbors. My kids absolutely loved it. They literally talked about it all month long. I was so happy when we got Boo-ed in return because I think my kids might have been heart broken if we hadn’t.

Then October ended, and I did not hear much about it again. Only then November hit…and we got “Gobbled” which is basically the same thing as being Boo-ed but with a Thanksgiving twist. And you guys, I am the WORST mom ever, and we did not Gobble anyone in return. I just did not have time. And my kids were so so so disappointed.

After talking about it, we decided that we would “Spread Cheer” in December instead! We decided to bake some cookies, and put together some fun gift baskets full of homemade treats and packaged goodies for neighbors and friends to be able to pass the cheer along. So we made these fun baskets.

I went to Smith’s, my local Kroger banner store, and stocked up on lots of Betty Crocker Mixes and other fun things for our Spread Cheer basket. Then I cam home and the kids and I baked up some delicious holiday cookie cups to share with out neighbors. We used a Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix to simplify things, then amped them up with cherry pie filling and chocolate ganache.

This one turned out really pretty, the other ones definitely show how much fun the kids had “helping” me. Either way they taste great, and truthfully, no one we gave them to is going to mind. I think they understood the spirit of just bringing more joy and happiness into the world.

One thing I loved was having a quick short cut for cookie making. We made sure we included some easy cookie mixes and extras so other people could make cookies and amp them up a bit too. For example, we included Peanut Butter Cookies mix and then Chocolate Kisses so they could make kiss thumbprints. Don’t worry, we included recipes

Anyway, it was so fun to make these baskets, and drop them off to unsuspecting neighbors and friends. Because we had home baked goods in them I did give the parents a little heads up so that they wouldn’t throw them out! Not that anyone would want to throw away these glorious little chocolate covered cherry sugar cookie cups, but you can never be too careful!

    I made these and they were a disaster. It must have been my oven. The middle and bottoms did not cook enough. I tried again and still couldn’t get it out. I ended up turning into a sugar cookie cobbler!! Any tips for next time?

      Well shoot! I am so sorry to hear this, did you cook the cookie cups separately, then add the cherries? I would love to give tips but need a little more info to troubleshoot.
