Bland

We had this Christmas Cookie Cookbook growing up that always had our go-to Christmas Cookie recipes in it.  There were, however, many recipes that we never ever tried.

So I decided to try making one of the recipes that always looked really fun and super tasty to me.  They are Stuffed Stocking Cookies.  Basically it looked like a sugar cookie with chocolate chips and chopped nuts inside, while the cookie is formed into the shape of a stocking, then frosted to add the cuff, heel and toe of the stocking.

They looked so cute and fun in the old 80's book!

But man, were they ever disappointing...

They spread out too much on the pan, and unfortunately, they tasted awful.  Well, maybe not awful, but they didn't taste wonderful at all.  Quite bland.

Maybe that is the reason we never made them.

That or possibly the fact that they are more frustration to form than they are worth.

Boo for blandness...
