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)

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 Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.
🍓
What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
