I am so excited to be participating in Barbara's first cookie exchange party through The Everyday Home! Now before my immediate family reads this, let me clarify something! I always burn the bread and cookies. You see, I get distracted, and they say I forget….but I say I don't hear the buzzer or it simply doesn't work right!

I was extra careful to stay in the kitchen while my cookies baked this time….I needed pretty cookie pictures after all!

You will find the complete listing of blogs below. 

Guess what! I have 2 recipes to share with you…..a sweet and a savory. Yes, I have trouble making my mind up!

First up is the sweet! This is not my recipe. It is from one of my many Paula Deen cookbooks, but I thought it was worth sharing. They make a lot and are perfect for gift giving. Woods just delivered several dozen to a few neighbors, and Ashlyn is talking a dozen to share with friends at lunch tomorrow. Why am I getting rid of them? They are so stinking good….if I keep too many, I'll eat them all day. I have a big sweet tooth! I did not make with the raisins or cranberries. The kids don't like either!

Monster Cookies

 Perfect after school snack with a glass of milk….well maybe not three!

This recipe is perfect for holiday gift giving because it makes 6 dozen! The way that I mix the ingredients is a bit different that the original recipe, but I find it works better for me.

Cook Time
10 min
Cook Time
10 min
Ingredients
  1. 6 eggs
  2. One- 1 pound box of light brown sugar
  3. 2 cups of granulated sugar
  4. 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  5. 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  6. One 24 ounce jar of creamy peanut butter
  7. 2 sticks of butter softened...not melted
  8. 8 ounces of M&M's
  9. 8 ounces of chocolate chips
  10. 1/2 cup of raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
  11. 4 teaspoons baking soda
  12. 9 cups of quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant)
Also on OSH!  Breakfast Recipe Collection
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Pre-cut 6 sheets of parchment paper to fit standard sized cookie sheets whether you have 1 or more cookie sheets
  3. I use my kitchen Aid stand mixer to mix the eggs, brown sugar and granulated sugar very well to thoroughly blend
  4. I then add the salt, vanilla,butter and peanut butter mixing well
  5. Then add the M&M's, chocolate chips, baking soda and raisins if using blending well on slowest speed
  6. You will see that the mixer bowl is quite full! I transfer this mixture to a very large mixing bowl
  7. Add your 9 cups of oatmeal and really work to mix it together. You may need to use your hands
  8. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets
  9. Bake for 8-11 minutes depending on oven until very light golden brown. Do not overbake.
  10. Let stand for 3 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool
  11. Store in airtight containers
Notes
  1. I find that it works much better for me to mix all of the ingredients with the electric mixer with the exception of the oatmeal. I know all is blended well before adding oatmeal. I do end up using my hands to mix in the end
  2. I only have 2 cookie sheets. I pre-cut 6 sheets of parchment paper in advance. I know that 12 cookies will fit on 1 sheet. I then place all of the cookies on the paper. All that I have to do is slide the empty cookie sheet under the parchment paper and it is ready to go into the oven

Now the next recipe is from my mom. It is a savory cookie and really more for the adult. I never liked them as a child, but she made them for her and Dad. Now, as an adult….I love them. They are great as an appetizer served with grapes and wine. They are a Pecan Cheese Wafer. Thanks Mom!

Pecan Cheese Wafers

Just the right blend of cheese and spiciness!

Cook Time

Cook Time
20 min
Ingredients
  1. 8 ounce block of sharp cheddar cheese
  2. 2 sticks of butter, softened not melted
  3. 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  4. 1 teaspoon salt
  5. 1/2 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
  6. 1 teaspoon of water
  7. 30 pecan halves
Also on OSH!  Favorite Things Friday {Gift Giving}
Instructions
  1. Makes 30 cookies
  2. Let the cheese and butter get soft at room temperature
  3. grate the block of cheese
  4. Mix the cheese and butter together with a mixer
  5. Add the salt and cayenne pepper and mix
  6. Gradually add the flour
  7. Add the 1 teaspoon of water
  8. Chill in refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes so it isn't as sticky
  9. Mixture is quite dry!
  10. Use a regular teaspoon and scoop out rolling into a ball
  11. Flatten ball slightyly trying to maintain a nice circle shape
  12. Place 1 pecan half in the center
  13. Place on parchment lined baking sheet
  14. Bake for approximately 20-22 minutes until just lightly golden
  15. Cool slightly and transfer to a wire rack
Notes
  1. This mixture is very dry that is why I decided to add the 1 tsp of water at the end. I was out, but I'd like to experiment with Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Mom usually made these much smaller than mine yielding twice the amount. If using as an appetizer with other foods, you may want to make smaller. If making as more of a cookie size it will yield 30.

    Both of these cookies sound wonderful. The monster cookies remind me of “trash” cookies, basically stirring in whatever you have on hand…including oatmeal! 🙂 The pecan cheese wafers sound perfect for a small bit of something after the big Christmas meal. Thanks ~Jeanette

    I love a monster cookie — and so does my son. That recipe is definitely a keeper, but I REALLY want to try the pecan cheese wafers. They sound terrific. A great twist on your traditional cheese straw.

      Thanks you so much!!! You are so sweet! Here is a link to where I order clear cello bags. They come in like a box of 100. I use these bags to even wrap gift cards with paper shreds and a pretty bow. For the cookies….I love these bags! I fill the bag and and tie with a beautiful wire ribbon and add a pretty gift tag. I even just make a simple one in Word and print on card stock. Great for small gifts. Dollar stores also have lots of cute boxes in their gift wrap sections. I am out of my bags right now so I had some white (from Wal-mart) lunch bags. I placed a dozen in the bag and had son walk over to neighbors. You could use those! Here is the link. Let me know anytime I can help! Merry Christmas~Christy

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner!

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
