Reese’s Monster Cookies

December 12, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I am so excited for today’s post!  I joined the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap!  I love this swap.  Last year I did the swap too and it was the first time I actually felt apart of the food blogging community.  So this event is near dear to my heart!  I met some wonderful food bloggers last year and I did the same this year!  Not only do you get great cookies, but you also get to met great people!

For the swap this year I made Reese’s Monster Cookies which is filled with what else?  Reese’s pieces and for an added kick I added crunch I added crushed cashews to it!  These cookies were hard to giveaway, but I managed to keep 5 of them to myself.  I sent my cookies to  Melanie from Melanie in the Middle, Sarah at Little Kitchen Lovely Food and Nikki at Pennies on a Platter.  Hope the ladies enjoyed the cookies!


I received 3 fabulous cookies in return! The first one I got was from Rachel from Teacher by Day – Chef by Night.  They were a Snickerdoodle Molasses Cookie.  Yummy!  These cookies were chewy and delicious!  I woke up in the morning and my family ate half the batch!  Glad I got my photo in!

The second cookie I got was from Jill from Goodbye Fat, Hello Jill.  Jill made a wonderful Vegan Thumbprint with Black Berry Jam!  These cookies are fabulous and so creative.  I had one every morning while I ran off to work.  I just love that this was a healthy cookie!  It gave me energy and kept me full for a couple hours!  I can’t wait for the recipe!

The 3rd cookie I received was from Jenni at the Gingered Whisk!  Oh my gosh, Jenni’s cookies melted in my mouth!!  They are a Citrus Butter Cookie!  Matter in fact I’m eating one right now!!  When they arrived, my friend was over and when we took a bite we were in cookie heaven!!!  I’m telling you, they really do melt in your mouth and the lemon flavor is so perfect int his cookie!

I just love all of the cookies I received!  Thank you so much ladies for brightening my day with these super delicious cookies!!!  I wish we could do this cookie swap all of the time, because they are so good and it’s so fun to get a cookie surprise in the mail.

I didn’t tell you in my cookie I also added peanut butter chips for a little extra peanut butter flavor.  The cookies turned out fat, full of peanut butter flavor and an added crunch from the Reese’s pieces.  They were fun to make!!  The batter was really good too!

Reese’s Monster Cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs (I used 1/2 cup egg substitute)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup Reese’s Pieces
1 Cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips
1 Cup cashews, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set a side

In a large bowl beat butter on high speed for 30 seconds. Ass brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda and salt. Beat until combined.

Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.

Fold in Reese’s pieces, peanut butter chips and cashews.

Drop the dough by a cookie scoop and place 2″ apart in baking sheet.

Bake in oven for 10 – 13 minutes, until the bottom is lightly golden. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack; cool completely.

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
