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.

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
