Disclosure: Today’s post is sponsored by Nestle Toll House, but my love for their DelightFulls filled morsels is all my own!
I started making holiday cookies with Wyatt for the first time when he was just over 7 months old. Every Christmas we make cookies, it’s just our thing. Last year Levi was just two months old and was unable to participate but this year, this year he was right in the icing and sprinkles and Toll House Filled Morsels. And it was magical.
Toll House Filled Morsels are just amazing. We love the Milk Chocolate Morsels with Peanut Butter Filling they are the perfect, easy way to change up a classic recipe. They’re the perfect size for little hands and are just so much fun to “push” into the dough pointy side down.
We rolled out store-bought dough, got out all of our fixin’s and got to work. Making cookies is such a great sensory activity for little ones. Grasping small sprinkles or chips and pushing them gently into the dough is a great way for them to play and create something perfect. My favorite part about making cookies with the boys is watching their sweet little faces. Wyatt was so determined this year, so exact with his placement. His little brow crinkled as he imagined where his decoration would go next, it was so so funny.
Levi was crazy and squealed the whole time. He was so overcome with excitement (and probably had a little sugar buzz). He played with sprinkes, smushed the cookies, and watched Wyatt as he played. It was such a wonderful experience to be able to do this with both boys this year at the table. I love little moments like this, just when we’re together laughing with the dim lights of the Christmas tree glowing in the background, I look forward to this time so much each year. And it fills my heart to stand holding a sweet cookie that my little ones decorated with little candies and little icing finger smudges. I just want to keep it forever.
The boys really enjoy these cute reindeer cookies. When your cookies are fresh out of the oven, break a pretzel in half and push into the cookie. Use two Nestle Toll House DelightFulls as the eyes and top with icing, then finish it off with a red candy for a nose. And there ya go – your own little (simple & easy-to-make) reindeer!
Have you tried Nestle Toll House DelightFulls?
Do you bake holiday cookies each year?
I love your xmas tree shaped cookies. So fun and festive.
Nestles is the only chocolate chip as far as I am concerned. Any other brand isn’t worth trying. I haven’t tried the Toll House Delightfuls
Oh my goodness I have not seen these in my store! Peanut butter and chocolate is my favorite sweets flavor combo! I must find them to make cookies this holiday.
Filled morsels? What will they think of next? That is straight up awesome.
I haven’t tried Nestle’s Toll House Delightfulls, but I’d surely would want to try it out soon. You and your kids looked like you enjoyed doing those Christmas-themed cookies.
It looks like everyone had a great time. I love the reindeer cookie.
I’ve never heard of those particular Nestlé chocolates before, I wonder if they’re available here in Ireland. Those cookies you made with your boys are too cute!
That seem new to me but it looks so yummy! I have to check if those are available in our local store.
Haven’t heard of these, but I am going to try out in baking with my littles! Your kids are so darn cute in this post! PS: I love your chalkboard wall in some of those shots – my kids would love that!
Yes, we make TONS of Christmas cookies each year. We love giving them out as neighborhood gifts too <3
Yes we have tried all the ones that have filling in them. My favorite is the cherry. We are going to be doing holiday baking this year. My daughter and I are going to have fun with it making different kinds.
Filled Chocolate Chips? Wow. just wow 🙂
No, but I made gingerbread cookies this holiday season! I have never tried the Nestle Toll House DelightFulls, but Nestle Toll House is a good brand.
I wish we had Nestle Tollhouse here in the UK – all of my US friends talk about them! I need to get some I think!
Aww you kiddos are so cute and look like they are having a blast. The cookies came out so cute.
Looked like the kids had fun. Love making cookies with kids!
What cute cookies and the kido’s are having fun. I made some chocolate fondue with a bag of nestle toll house chocolate chips today. We’ve been dipping fruit in it and enjoying it.
I actually have tried these before!!! I made brownies with them and they were absolutely delicious 😉
The reindeer cookies are precious. Gotta love making these holiday memories!
Great recipe! And I completely love how you integrated your loved ones into photos!
I’ve seen these Delightfuls in the store and have been tempted to buy some for later. I think I would like the Mint Chocolate ones the best. Cute holiday cookies!
How cut and fun with the kids. I really like the reindeer cookie!
