Well today's blog will help with just that, relaxing! Today I want all of you Fashionista's to get in the holiday mood and relax at the same time with this yummy candy cane hot chocolate recipe and warm chocolate chip cookies while you are studying or working this weekend or whenever you need a little pick me up!

Candy Cane Cocoa (4-1 cup servings)

4 cups milk

3 (1 ounce) squares chopped semisweet chocolate

4 crushed peppermint candy canes

1 cup whipped cream or cool whip

4 small peppermint candy canes

In a sauce pan heat the milk until hot, not boiling. Then add chocolate and crushed candy cane pieces. Pour hot cocoa into 4 mugs and finish off with whipped creams and mini candy cane.

Chocolate Chip Cookies (makes about 60)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) semi sweet chocolate chips

To make the dough: Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. In another bowl combine sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs to this mix beating in one at a time. Next, gradually stir in flour mix.

Put dough in a bowl with lid and put in the refrigerator to harden a little make cookies easier. Also you can leave the dough in the refrigerator and cook only a few cookies at a time so it lasts longer.

When ready to bake: Make about tablespoon-size small cookies on baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. Take out cool and enjoy with your hot cocoa.
