Each year, I like to get my kids involved in our Christmas cookies. They've helped me make most of the cookies you've seen in this series over the years. But, this year, I wanted to take it a little further - so, this year, I let my 8-year-old daughter Emmie think up her own recipe.

It really was a fun process. She is super creative! Emmie knew that she wanted to make some kind of tree cookie, so I helped her find a few ingredients that might work well together. She also thought up the idea of using M&M's as ornaments. Once we were done, I was told I had to give her full credit on this blog post. 🙂

From there, No-Bake Fluffernutter Cookies were born! I love how these cookies turned out (in both taste and looks). They are super cute, really easy/fun to make with kids, and are delicious (just like the fluffernutter sandwich you know and love from childhood).

I mixed up the ingredients over the stove, and once the mixture was cool enough to work with, I let Emmie kind of do her own thing. We used a butter knife to shape the sides of the tree and she loved putting the M&M "ornaments" on their Christmas trees. If you're looking to get your kids involved in the kitchen this holiday season, these no-bake cookies are the perfect way to do it!

See the recipe for No-Bake Fluffernutter Cookies below. Note: two of the ingredients are totally optional. We made ours into Christmas trees, but if you just want regular Fluffernutter cookies, leave the food coloring and M&Ms out!

And with that, we wrap up this year's Christmas cookie series! Hope you guys have enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
