Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

At the top of this recipe in big letters and many exclamation points it says-
BLOG THIS!!!!
YUM!!!
So I thought now would be a good time to do so...:)

Has anybody else noticed that most of the cookies to make it to Cookie Friday
have something to do with peanut butter???
Hmmmmm...
Best part about these besides the peanut butter-is that they are another Weight Watchers
recipe!!!!
Better than that....2 points+!!!
Helllllo....right?!?!
~
First things first-how to pictures....

Mix the dry ingredients-flour, whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda and salt.

Ummm-that's a 1/4 c. right?
It is in my world;)
This White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter is da-liiiish!!

Cream together...

like so..
Add vanilla and egg

Should look like this.

Throw in the chips-mini chocolate chips and Heath chips-YUM!

Roll into 36 balls..

Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
Pleeeeaaase do not over bake them!!!
They should be a little chewy-but yet slightly crispy on the edges;)

Sooooo good they can't be bad right?!?

I made them later with mini chocolate chips and toasted coconut just another option-super yummy one at that!:)

Enjoy and have a safe and wonderful 4th of July weekend!!!

White Chocolate Toffee Bark



Valentine's Day is right around the corner... already!
Crazy!! We have a Christmas Bark recipe (I can't believe we didn't get it posted this year!
Look for it next year! :)) that I wanted to change up for Valentines Day.



Take about 1/2 cup of coconut, throw it on a baking sheet and bake for
about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside for later.


Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Don't skip this part... it will save you in the end!


Lay saltines on parchment paper in a single layer.
They don't always fit right so you may have to break some in half!


In a medium saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar.
Bring to to a boil for 3 minutes.



Pour toffee mixture onto saltines.
Bake for 15 minutes.


Immediately after removing from the oven, pour white chocolate
chips over toffee layer.


Use a spoon to spread chocolate into even layer.
If you chocolate won't spread nicely, pop the pan back in the oven for
just a minute or two.

Mmmm..... :)



Top with toasted coconut. Don't like coconut?
You could change it up however you like!
But, really, when is the last time you tried it?? :)



Sprinkle with your favorite Valentine's sprinkles!
Wouldn't it be adorable with the little hearts etc that Holly used in her
fun-fetti cupcakes?!

Place in fridge and cool about 1 hour.


Melt chocolate chips with Crisco and drizzle over the top!




Very Festive!!
