Step 4: Staple scrapbook paper to the bag. (Try to staple in far enough that your tag will hide your staples)

Step 6: Wrap jute around the bag loosely about 3 times and tie in the back.

Step 7: Tape your circle tag onto the front of the bag in the middle of jute.

{ S'more Cookies }

I saw this YUMMY looking recipe online and wanted to share. As soon as I have time to make them for my house I will share again!!

S'more Cookies

Ingredients:



- One package of Tolehouse Cookie Dough


- 13 Marshmallows


- 1/2 to 1 bag of Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bits (I use a whole bag, but you can use as much or as little on the tops of the cookies as you like.)






Directions:


1) Bake cookies according to instructions. (Here, you can also make chocolate chip cookies from scratch if you prefer homemade and possess the patience that I do not. If this is the case, you will need to vary the number of marshmallows and chocolate bits to suit the number of cookies your recipe makes.)






2) Cut marshmallows in half while cookies are in oven. When the cookies are done, place marshmallow halves on top, sticky side down, and return to oven for 2 minutes.






3)While cookies are back in, pour chocolate bits into a microwave-safe container and melt (I use a glass Pyrex measuring cup). I melt for thirty and stir, then melt for 15 and stir and repeat until they are completely melted.






4) Remove cookies from oven, press the now-puffy marshmallows down with a finger or fork, and spoon melted dark chocolate onto the tops.






5) Let cool, then remove to a cookie rack until completely cooled. Then, place in a container, putting wax paper between each layer so they don't stick together. (I usually keep them on the rack for a couple hours before I put them in the fridge. I'm sure they don't have to wait quite this long, but I usually leave the kitchen and forget all about them for several hours.)






6) Remove from fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. (It's been hot and humid this week, so I've been taking a couple out 5 or 10 minutes before I eat them, but in the winter I'd give it closer to 30).

You can also make these with peanut butter cookies on the bottom, but in this family, the more chocolate the better, so I haven't tried them that way yet. Also, make sure to have one soon after you pour the melted chocolate on top-they are messy this way but heavenly!
