Here are two simple Christmas cookie recipes you can make in a snap! Microwave Divinity and Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are perfect for sharing and gift giving. Either of these would be wonderful to take to a Cookie Exchange party.
Microwave Divinity
2 ½ cups sugar
½ cups water
2 egg whites
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cups light corn syrup
1/3 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a microwave safe 3 quart container combine sugar, syrup, water and salt. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Stir and microwave again for 8 to 10 minutes or until syrup when dropped into cool water makes a hard ball. While mixture is cooking beat egg whites until stiff. Slowly pour syrup mixture over egg whites beating with mixer on high speed. Add vanilla while continuing to mix. Continue beating until mixture holds its shape and starts to lose its gloss. (app. 4 or 5 minutes) Fold in pecans by hand. Drop by teaspoon onto waxed paper. Makes about 1 ¼ pounds of candy.
*Recipe will not work on a wet day because it is moisture sensitive.
