Temptations


Today my husband locked his keys in the car. I woke up to his phone call at 11:00am, saying that I would need to a find a way to get across town, where he was reffing soccer, and get his keys and wallet out of the car. After this stressful episode today, I decided to feature my husband’s favorite dessert. It actually isn’t a dessert – it’s candy, but I made it into a dessert.

 

Andrew will do nearly anything to get any dessert that includes a Reese’s peanut butter cup. And so, I made one of my Grandma’s most common desserts. It is simple, really. Chocolate chip cookie dough with a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Our family refers to this wonderful dessert as “Temptations”.

Directions:
  1. Make your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough recipe
  2. Fill a cupcake pan with dough
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown
  4. Take pan out of the oven and insert Reese’s peanut butter cups in the center
  5. Bake for another 3-4 minutes.



Thankfully, Andrew loved this tempting dessert. I think was a good ending to a stressful day. And I was also able to give some as a thank-you to the helper who broke into our car and retrieved Andrew’s keys. J



If you ever have some Reese’s on hand, give this recipe a try. I am sure you will love it!

Egg-less Cookie Dough


Who doesn’t love to snitch some cookie dough?? I have discovered that cookie dough is much more delectable than the cookies after they are baked, so this recipe has come in handy many times. This is a great recipe to try with kids because it is easy and can be eaten right away, although it is less messy after is has been refrigerated. It also is a hit because it has no eggs! Woohoo for sweetened condensed milk, instead. J  


1 stick butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla
Half bag semisweet chocolate chips


Melt butter and brown sugar together. Mix into a large bowl with sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and flour. Add chocolate chips. Leave in refrigerator until cookie dough hardens and then roll into bite-sized cookie dough balls.
