The following are unscripted stories documenting my experiences as a mommy. I write about all the things I am passionate about, faith, family and frugality. Welcome to Mommyville.
I tried this new recipe for my cookie exchange it was a long and tedious process for dainty cookies. I don't know if I would do it again. The checkerboards gave me heck and I ended up making striped cookies and then marbles with the rest of the dough.
Marble cookies:) Salted nut chews. Ryan's favorite. 8:30 am. The kids were out sledding in a blizzard.
The red and green pinwheels were MUCH easier. I may attempt them again. The kids love the dough. Funny, it is just simple sugar cookie dough. But they eat it without frosting and sprinkles. That may be motivation for me to try them again and again.
Salted nut chew recipe (super easy but NOT low-fat :()
DIRECTIONS: Place 1 1/2 cups of the peanuts in an ungreased 7x11 inch baking pan; set aside. In a saucepan, melt butter and peanut butter chips over low heat. Add sweetened condensed milk and marshmallows. Cook and stir until melted. Pour over peanuts and sprinkle remaining peanuts on top. Cover and refrigerate; cut into bars when set.

I can promise you I would never attempt those cookies. I would love to have that peanut recipe, though.
