Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Chip Cookies
Whew! That’s a long title, but it describes these cookies to a “T”. I had some miniature peanut butter cups in the freezer and decided to finally use them.

101 in 1001 Update: May 2010

SMS: Chocolate Pecan Brownies
Who doesn’t like brownies? Not many people I’m sure. This week’s SMS was hosted by Tiffany of A Spoonful of Laughter and a Heap of Love. The recipe called for walnuts, but since I had pecans on hand, I chose to substitute them for the walnuts. They had a great texture, and I decided to…
