We all know a Hallmark Christmas movie will have a happy ending. As the days get shorter and night falls earlier, curling up by the fire and watching any Christmas movie is just one of the great things about the season. Add in some hot chocolate or a glass of wine and all you need is cookies to make it a perfect night at home. How about an easy 4 ingredient cookie recipe, straight from the makers of all the Hallmark movies?

Hallmark Movie Christmas Cookies
Truth? I was kinda stumped on what to do for this post. I’ve already done posts on some of my most favorite Christmas movies and didn’t have any new ideas.
I spent some time perusing the Hallmark movie channel web page, looking at all the upcoming Christmas movies. Still not having an idea, I went to Pinterest looking for ways to use up leftover pears… because I had quite a few.
Christmas Pear Drop Cookies looked perfect… and the link took me right back to the Hallmark movie channel!
The next thing I knew, I was making cookies at 10:00 in the morning and my husband said the house smelled like Christmas… perfect.
Christmas Pear Drop Cookies
I always start out trying to follow recipes, but ultimately, I tend to stray. My version was a hit and gone before JuneBug even got to try one. Everyone has already asked me to make them again.
My version came about because I had more pears than the original recipe called for. And they all needed to be used up.
I didn’t bother peeling them, they were too soft to peel easily.
The smell of pears and butter and cinnamon… yum! But, I only had two sticks of butter left. Even though I had twice as many pears.
One and a half cups of flour left me with very runny batter. Probably because I melted the butter instead of using soft butter. I just added more flour a quarter cup at a time until I had a consistency I liked.
Christmas Pear Drop Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced fresh pears (about 4 pears)
- 1 cup butter melted
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Dice the pears and set aside
- Melt the butter in a saucepan on low heat
- Mix together powdered sugar and flour in a mixing bowl
- When the butter is melted, pour almost all of it into the flour and mix
- Leaving a few tablespoons of melted butter in the pan, add in the pears and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon
- Cook the pears until they are soft
- Mix the pear mixture into the flour mixture
- Drop onto a cookie sheet and bake for 14-15 minutes
Now I just have to hope the second batch lasts to the start of a movie!
