Hey, I'm Kathleen. Thanks for stopping by my site, hope you find something you like and come back for seconds!
GREAT cookies, always a hit. I also bake these in the little mini-muffin pans and press a mini- Reeces cup into them.
I made these over the holidays for my peanut butter loving family members.They are also good rolled in chopped peanuts.
Oh Kathleen sweetie…
Aren't these the best. Yours look so yummy. Kids and grandkids love these darn things.
I am in the process of trying to rework the recipe with Splenda and try making some for me. I am an isulin diabetic and have wanted to try making the cookie a little healthier for me. No chocholate for me, just the cookie. Have you tried cooking with splenda?
Thanks for sharing. Love your pic. Just the right angle.
Country hugs sweetie…Sherry
These blossoms look incredible with peanut butter!
They are so cute! I love 'em.
Shhhh! I did the same thing, first healthy dinner, but couldn't resist making some cookies as well. And my husband asked if they were too dangerous for him. I said, “hmmm,no, there's only one egg and very little butter in them”, one cookie want hurt anyone, don't you think so?
These look so wonderful, I'd probably have hard time to stop popping them into my mouth.
Kathleen, during the holidays I eat many of these classic treats. It is not Christmas without them. And Like you I want to eat healthier in 2010, but will definitely be making a batch or 3 of these classics during the year.
It's a great cookie… Always a go to when on a multicookie tray!
You gotta give yourself a little treat for eating healthy sometimes. That's why I went and got skinny cows.
