End of the Week Treat! V-day themed!

Happy Friday!

This week's End of the week treat = cookies!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip M&M Peanut Butter Cookies, to be exact!!

With Valentine's Day M&Ms of course, because, well, you can never have too much love...right?

The base is made up of about half flour and half oats, and I decided to use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. Why? Why not?! Certainly can't call them healthy cookies, but might as well add nutritional benefits where I can!

High in protein and fiber, soft, chewy, and chocolaty! I'll take it! :)

Finals time = early Christmas baking!

I LOVE the Holiday season!
Family, Friends, Relaxation, and Christmas baking!!

I'll do more baking closer to Christmas of course, but finals time at college = festive baking! I finished my finals early and was able to make bake for my roommates, sorority, and friends who were still here! Nothing better than a treat while studying!

First I made Red Velvet Cupcakes! Moist cake with creamy cream cheese frosting, topped off with Christmas sprinkles!

Then I decided to make up a basket of goodies to bring to my sorority's house. Peanut butter cookies with Hershey's kisses is one of my favorite Christmas cookies of all time and are always a hit! Then I made soft chocolate cookies with crushed up peppermint Oreo-type cookies in them. Finished it off with little pretzel-chocolate-m&m bites.

After putting it in the kitchen, the basket was empty in less than an hour.

YUM!

Finally, before leaving to go home for the winter break, I made banana pumpkin bread. Fat-free, whole wheat, reduced sugar, moist, and delicious!

Happy Holidays!! More Christmas baking to come soon!

Taste of DC: Day 1!

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Stuff Cookies

Do you like peanut butter? chocolate? oatmeal? soft flavorful cookies?

Then this is the cookies for you!
Around Easter time, I felt like making a unique cookie. In my room I had a bag of peanut butter cups, a bag of butterfinger eggs (aka Easter themed butterfingers), and ~ 1/4 of a bag of peanut m&ms. I love oatmeal cookie as a base. And that's how this cookie got started.

chock-full of peanut butter and chocolate flavor, these soft oatmeal cookies have crushed up peanut butter cups, butterfinger eggs, and the rest of that bag of peanut m&ms in them. When I first mixed it all together, I thought I might have too much "stuff" and not enough "dough." But after I baked the first batch, I knew there was no mistake.

These are the best cookie ever. Perfect for any and all peanut butter and chocolate lovers.

peanut butter cookies with pink m&ms

I had bought these pink m&ms because I thought they were pretty (and to support breast cancer, of course). so I made these peanut butter m&m cookies! They were great!!! Great soft peanut butter, and I love the chocolaty crunch of the m&ms!
