Snickerdoodle Cookies with a Twist.

December 12, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi and Happy Monday!

I just wanted to give thanks to everyone who participated in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap.  I received 3 dozen of cookies from three fabulous fellow bloggers.

My first cookies I received where from That Skinny Chick Can Bake and let me tell you those White Chocolate Raspberry Bars where out of this world. I can’t wait to get the recipe today,which is probably not a good thing because I’ll be making them all the time.  I finished the dozen of cookies in 2days.  I couldn’t get enough of them!  They were so darn good, you don’t even know it!  Check out That Skinny Chick Can Bake to get the recipe, believe me you’ll be happy if you do!!

The second batch of cookies are a wonderful Cranberry Lemon Biscotti from Peanut Butter and Julie.  These biscotti are so pretty and so tasty.  The combo of lemon and cranberry are a perfect match.  These biscott have a perfect balance of sweetness and the texture is not to hard nor to soft.  I love that!  I’m not the biggest fan of crunchy biscotti, but these are just perfect!  I am most definitely going to make these too!  It goes perfect dunking them in my tea.  Check out Peanut Butter and Julie to get the recipe.


The last batch of cookies I received are  Bean Town Baker!  They are a wonderful Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies.  Oh my are they good.  My daughter can’t get enough of them.  She wants the recipe so she can make them herself and give to her boyfriend.  I wish I still had some around the house, but they got snatched up quick!  The combo of Gingerbread and Chocolate is a match made in heaven.  You must simply try them.  Check Out Bean Town Maker to get the recipe!

So your probably wondering what I gave.  I made Snickerdoodle cookies with a twist!   It’s your traditional Snickerdoodle with Heath Toffee Bits adding to it.  Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies and I was excited to make them a little different then the traditional way.  It’s fun adding a twist to your basic recipes.  Thats what makes cooking fun!  No rules, you can do or try whatever you like!

I packed them all up with a recipe card and an reindeer ornament.  I just hope that the cookies were ok shipping.  I paid extra to have them sent Federal Express, but it took a week to get there, next time I am going to ship through the post office!

These cookies are soft,with surprises of toffee and coated with cinnamon and sugar.

I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

The Kissing Booth sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio. Also Krumpets Home Decor ships to Canada.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

Happy Monday! Last day of rain according to the fo Happy Monday! Last day of rain according to the forecast and I even see sun in the future!! Woohoo! 
❤️
I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
