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 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?

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?

🌿
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!
