When it comes to the holidays, I like to get into the spirit with some of my fave Christmas movies. "Home Alone" is definitely on the "must watch" holiday list. I especially enjoy this little scene because it's insanely hilarious, and because I'm pretty sure I would have the same reaction if someone put a creature with eight legs on my face. I swear I could watch this scene a million times and still find it as funny as I did the first time I watched it. It definitely gives me the Santa bowlful of jelly laughs.

Cream Cheese-Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies
By ShopGirl27 · December 6, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
There are some things so perfect in life that you can't possibly imagine tinkering with them, like the chocolate chip cookie. However, if you feel like you may be falling out of love with the classic cookie, then this decandent version will make you reconsider. It's rich, soft and filled with cream cheese. I made it over the weekend, and my squeeze couldn't resist them.
Ingredients Needed:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup butter (room temp)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extra
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Cream Cheese Filling:
6-oz cream chees (room temp)
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cookie Dough:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar until light. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla extract. With the mixer on low, add the flour mix slowly. Stir in chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
Divide dough into two equal parts. Place each on a sheet of parchment paper and shape into a log. Wrap in the paper and place in fridge for about 2 hours, until the dough is firm.
Filling:
Simply combine ingredients in mixer at medium-high speed until creamy and smooth.
Make:
Preheat oven to 350F. Line cookie sheets with parchent paper. Remove the chilled cookie dough from fridge. With a knife, cut each cookie log into about 12 even slices. Pat a slice into a 3-4 inch disc. Add about a tablespoon of filling to the middle of the cookie. Place another cookie slice on top and gently pinch the sides all the way around. Then gently roll the cookie into a ball. Don't worry. It's meant to be big cookie - it's a good thing.
Bake:
Bake for about 18 minutes until cookies are slighlty golden around the edges.
Cool:
Let cookies cool on baking sheets for about 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
Eat:
Yum in the tum.

Have you ever liked something without really knowing why? That's exactly how I feel about this Eugenia Kim Foxy Scarf . It's cute and somewhat odd, but I absolutely love it. The chunky knit scarf is completely unexpected. You're sure to get either a lot of compliments and a few strange stares.
