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’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.
🌸
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week and you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.
💕
One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
🌻
My beautiful “Summer” cutout sign is from @krumpetshomedecor and it’s also the deal of the week. You get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link is in my bio.

What’s your favorite thing to do in the summer?

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
