Oh so many recipes so little time !!!!!!!!!!! I love this time of yr!!
I just found this topic -- is there a google doc on it? If so I'll add it to my recipe links.
Add away, Wonderbuns! Good to see you BTW... we haven't talked in a bit!
You're right Mel, we haven't! So how's the cookbook coming along??? 
I got this recipe from the travel agent we use at work. It's super easy to make and everyone loves the truffles.
Oreo Truffles
1 pkg (1lb 2 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed (regular cookies NOT double stuff)
1 pkg (8 oz) Cream cheese, softened in microwave
2 pkgs (12 oz each) Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 pkg (12 oz) White chocolate chips for decoration or get some white candy discs from the bulk food section you dont need much.
Crisco shortening about 2 tablespoons
Crush entire package of Oreos into fine crumbs in a food processor. Do this in 3 batches, otherwise it will overflow (at least my food processor overflows). Place in large bowl and stir in softened cream cheese until no white streaks remain. Roll into walnut-sized balls and place on a wax paper covered cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 1 hour or put in freezer for ½ hour.
Melt chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl, 1 bag at a time and add a tablespoon of Crisco shortening to each pkg. Dip truffles in melted chocolate with a couple of spoons. Place back on wax paper covered cookie sheets.
Melt the white chocolate disks and put in a sandwich bag, snip a tiny corner off and drizzle the chocolate on top of each truffle. Refrigerate.
Ive never tried it, but you could use the mint Oreos for a different flavor, or add a bit of peppermint to the mix, or any other flavor for that matter.
Okay everyone I've updated the recipe links!!! Click on the link in my signature and go to page 6 for the updates!
Just wanted to say that I tried the Coconut Cranberry Chews cookie recipe that may have been posted here. Whoever shared that is a real angel. It has to be one of the best cookies I have ever eaten, so if you come across the recipe--try them. It will be on the top of my list for next year.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the review! Glad you liked them, they are so nice and chewy aren't they?
I don't think anyone has ever called me an angel before...
Who is in charge of the google doc for this thread? In the updated recipe links thread (see my signature) I discovered that link is no longer good. This is the link I'm using: http://docs.google.com/View?do....._0ct6gq9fg
Can anyone tell me what's wrong here?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ME! Not sure which one is giving you trouble, but here are the links...

After I post this reply I will click on all three links and verify that they work, if not I will investigate.
I don't know how to get it fixed. Here's the link I am having trouble with: http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=625803&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=75
The link to the recipes are here thread works, it's the link to the google doc under the Christmas 2 thread that doesn't work. 
Is this it?
Google Doc Christmas 2:
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dgjqsjjc_0ct6gq9fg
The link to the recipes are here thread works, it's the link to the google doc under the Christmas 2 thread that doesn't work.
So, I'm just trying to understand what's wrong, please forgive me if I sound stupid. 
There is a link somewhere in the Christmas 2 thread that is supposed to point to the Google doc and it doesn't? Can you just repost a link on there, or is it every time you post it in that thread that it doesn't work?
Here is a list of the updated recipe links (the second link in my signature.) If you go down to the Christmas 2 Thread, this link to the google docs doesn't work. That's the one I'm referring to.
