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:-)

Really only 1/4 c. Flour??
Jocelyn Brubaker
I know it sounds pretty unbelievable, but yes, that is all the flour you need for these cookies 🙂

I made these yesterday. These are delicious, pretty easy to make, and I love that they don't require a mixer or much clean up. I will definitely be making these again! I did mine for 8 minutes a pan, but when I dropped them by teaspoonfuls, I got 49 cookies.
Jocelyn Brubaker
Yay! I'm glad you liked them. I probably scooped very big teaspoons when I baked them 🙂
Melissa
How many mini's make 2 cups? Or should I ask how many packages? I know they make the little 4 oz (I think) packages now but wanted to know how many you buy. Thanks!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I usually buy the 8 oz. package of unwrapped minis. I think 2 cups is about the whole 8 oz. bag. I hope you love the cookies!

I don't exercise nearly enough to be able to make these cookies! Every time I read your blog, I get hungry ...

These cookies really look and sound delicious! Hey, at least you're doing something to burn off the calories. 🙂 The only time I get to move around is when I chase my kids...and bake cookies in the kitchen (if that even counts, LOL)
