I'm a Cheater

Good Saturday! Well I'm feeling a lot better not 100% but I'd say after almost 2 weeks of sickness I'm about 60% better and finally able to enjoy some things.Christmas is finally put away and Valentines is up.I don't have much Valentines so easy to get out.I'll share pics soon.I also did a little tweaking to some things.Aren't we always doing that? Most people I know don't love each season and change the decor or put out special things.That's why I love you all, you enjoy simple pleasures and celebrate like I do...smile...The bucket and the large doll were in the loft for a long time so bought them out to display.... Ok so I got you wondering about my cheating ways.Hmmm wonder what thoughts crossed your minds? You are supposed to be my friends you know? LoL..Well it's these to die for cookies!!!!
They are soooo yummy.I had a long drawn out recipe so I decided I wanted them easy..Pretzel Cookies with Chocolate and Peanut butter...

Sweet and Salty..Ok so I'll give you my version which is soooo easy.
Pretzels Cookies with chocolate and Peanut butter


  • Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie roll or chub

  • 3/4 to 1 cup peanut butter chips

  • about 3/4 cup broken pretzels (I used the thin stick kind they were easy to break but any thin ones will work)

  • Course Sea Salt

Preheat oven according to cookie dough package.


Break up cookie dough in bowl add the peanut butter chips.Mix with spoon ( I like to mix it with my fingers) add in pretzel pieces and gently mix again.Roll Tablespoon size balls you can use your hands or the double spoon method.I like hands. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.Sprinkle the cookies lightly with sea salt.Bake 10-14 minutes.Leave sit 2 minutes before removing from tray. Now have someone hide them as they are addicting.


Well ladies hope you have a wonderful weekend.I still have a gift that needs returned so might do that when hubby gets home from work.I got a new prim book for christmas Early American Country Homes and want to snuggle in with it,so much prim eye candy.Warm Blessings!~Amy

Raymond Homestead said...

Glad you are feeling better! The cookies sound yummy!!

Penny said...

Glad you are feeling better, Amy! I still have a lousy cough, but I'm hoping that will be gone soon.....
My mom, at 81, still decorates for EVERY holiday!! My sisters and I blame her for our addiction to decorating!! Maybe "blame" is too harsh a word, as we all enjoy it so much. But we do tease her about passing along that decorating gene! Every holiday deserves some kind of recognition, so there are boxes of decorations for even the slightest of holidays... :)

Thanks for the cookie recipe -- it sounds easy and delicious!! I'll be trying that one soon!

Enjoy the weekend!

I love those black dolls, I have been in the mood to make dolls! These are great as a gathering!

Glad you are feeling better! Love the doll & bucket! Cookies sound great!! Oh How I wish I could eat them!!! lol

Kendra said...

I think I may try those cookies less the peanut butter chips (Hiney is allergic). Sweet and salty is always a good thing!
Love the valentine's decor. I have been slowly getting Christmas put away and getting valentine's day out. Mostly things that I have had to make over the years. It's fun to see everything again. I'll have a giveaway posted next week for some valentine's decor, check it out!

Lots of love to you,
Kendra

Sweetie, I am so relieved to hear you are feeling better.
I did get the package today and I love everything. The little gingers are adorable. Their little limbs are so delicate. You did a wonderful job with them. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with this ole gal......
Prayers and thoughts always being sent your way!

Theresa said...

Amy the cookies sound great!!! I love eating popcorn with M&M's so these sound perfectly salty & sweet for me. ;0) I'll be making these salt sweeties for sure. I love the way you arrange your collection of goodies...I'm always moving stuff too.

Sweet little gathering.
I don't have any Valentine decorations...seems the 'event' is here and gone so quickly I just don't think about it.
Wonderful sounding (and looking) recipe.

renee said...

Oh my gosh! I really didn't need to see that recipe! LOL! I like your tweaking too, I am re-arranging things here, slowly but surely. I like the displays of course!

I know what you mean... I've had people comment on my seasonal decorating and they are so surprised that I actually decorate for all the holidays (except St. Pat's). That's what I grew up with though... my mom and grandma always decorated for the holidays. So it's just habit for me. Plus, I always get so excited when I get the totes out... can't wait to see what's inside because it's been a year and I can't remember everything, lol!

Leave the pretzels out for me and those cookies look delicious!! =]

Blessings to you from Berry Homespun Primitives~

Margie said...

Oh thanks Amy...just what I need another cookie thats addictive. At least if it was a hard recipe it probably wouldnt matter but you made it so easy I will be making them later this week...thanks again for that, hehe. I love your little dolls...too cute. I really need to get some of those little darlings !!! Hugs my dear friend.

Wow...now I know I'm REALLY far behind. Not only is this post over a week old and I'm just getting here, but a week ago you were saying you had Christmas put away and I have to confess that I still have a dead tree in my living room. HELP! I enjoy decorating seasonally as well - gives me an excuse to have more "stuff" and I get to "rotate" my collections. Hope I'm never to old to get up and down those steps!! LOVE your dollies - the basket with them, and the bucket and dolly. You have some seriously cool stuff my friend! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
