Oh, it has been one of those days...
not motivated to do anything...
it was super cold...
even with the heat cranking!
I am over the cold and snow!
It was nice and I have enjoyed all the wintery stuff...
but Spring can come now.
Not motivated to do much of anything
because it hurts when I move.
I think it is due to the shredding...
who knew 20 minutes could do that to you?
(I moved up to level 2 and am regretting it...only slightly)
At least now I feel like I am working out a little bit harder...
gotta tell ya...not looking forward to level 3 though.
The only thing getting me through these workouts is my sugar fix...
now I know that if I keep up with my daily dose of calories
all the shredding in the world isn't going to help me...
but I haven't made a move to give up on sugar...yet;-)
Speaking of sugar...have I got a cookie for you...
Fudgy yummy cookies filled with
reese mini pb cups and
white chocolate chips!!!
Uggg I am drooling just typing about these delicious things.
I found the recipe in one of the
holiday cookie issues at Christmas...
and I finally got around to making it a couple weeks ago.
Sorry I have been holding out on you...
I had so many different recipes bookmarked...
it might take me the whole year to make them all.
I am just thankful that I took them to a meeting...
I am sure it wouldn't have been good to leave me
home alone with these tasty little devils.
Have you met my new best friend???
Mini Reese's peanut butter cups...
mini meaning I can eat way more because
little cups have little calories:-)
Now I said it was an ice cream flavor...
did you catch that in my title???
My fav ice cream is Moose Tracks...
it is the only ice cream that I can eat lots of.
For some odd reason I am not/or ever have been a big ice cream eater...
funny I know...since it is laden with sugar!!!
Any way Moose Tracks is
vanilla ice cream
fudge swirls
mini peanut butter cups!
I decide to make a
fudge cookie
vanilla chips
mini peanut butter cups...
See, kinda like a take on Moose Tracks...
ok, never mind...on to the recipe:-)

My favorite is Moose Tracks as well! There are so many reasons I like you. :p
I follow a blog where his specialty was turning ice cream flavors into cookies. They all look good, but I haven't tried any yet. You'll have to dig through his older cookie posts for them. Awesome stuff.
