These cookies have 3 of my favorite flavors: white chocolate, shortbread and maraschino cherries! Oh my goodness, these cookies are so delicious I can't stop eating them! They would steal the show at a cookie party for sure.

Looking for questionable fantastic ways to spend your holidays with your closest ones, enemies and friends alike? Aside from these delicious cheesecake blondies, here are some great faux holiday party ideas that never quite made it past the drawing board...



7. Naughty or Naughtier: Draw from a hat of “naughty” deeds and perform them in front of your friends! But it gets better–in order to win, your friends have to out-naughty your naughty deed. Do you have what it takes to get yourself in the top spot on Santa’s naughty list this year?

6. Hot Space Heater: Want to turn up the heat this year on family & friends fun day? Play this season-appropriate version of “Hot Potato” with your closest enemies. All you need are some rockin’ Christmas tunes and a preheated warmer–toss the space heater around in a circle until it gets too hot to handle! For extra excitement, make sure to invite your in-laws and that second cousin, twice removed that you never really liked.

5. Turkey Deep-Frying Competition: Get your frying vats ready–this is one sizzling holiday game! See who can fry their turkies the fastest; the hotter the stove, the hotter the game! (In order to qualify, participants must fry their turkies whole, preferably in a crowded space where flying oil and raging tempers will be an issue.)
