Star Trek Cookies












Never. I said it would never happen.

But it did.

I have become addicted to Star Trek.

I watched the movie Thanksgiving night and again on Saturday. My messenger, my phone, and now my blog are all talking about star trek.
So here's the recipe for star trek cookies, make these, sit down and giggle every time Spock comes onto the screen:

Make a batch of peanut butter cookies, you can use any recipe you want (I used the kind that comes in a bag) just don't use chunky peanut butter. Oh, and preheat the oven to 350. Once you have the dough ready, roll into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place a Rollo into the center of each cookie so it flattens, then roll the dough into a ball again. Bake for about 10 minutes.

These taste the best when the cookies are warm. The Carmel is all melted and oooh they are so good! Thank you Aunt Lisa for the recipe!
*So here's the thing, when you comment, please vote for either Kirk or Spock, the winning team will get the next recipe named after that character! And remember, you cannot vote more than once. Voting ends Sunday @ 7:00 p.m.*
Live long and prosper!

Chocolate covered pretzels




I love chocolate covered pretzels. White chocolate with pepermint candy, chocolate. . . . The list is endless. I had a few pretzels and stuff around the house so I decided to make some. You will need:




Pretzels (any shape or size is fine)


Chocolate (White, chocolate, any works.)


Toppings such as toffee bits, crushed peppermint candies, M&M's, sprinkles. . .




Get a cooling rack and place wax paper or tin foil under it. Put the chocolate chips into a bowl and put in the microwave, stirring every ten seconds. (You can put the chocolate in the boiler thing, but I don't know how, so the microwave works fine.)


Once the chocolate is melted, Dip the pretzels into the chocolate and place them onto the cooling rack. When you have them all done, add the topping. (The chocolate tends to harden pretty fast so if you are doing a lot, you may want to start adding the topping to your first ones before finishing the rest.)


When that is all done, put in the fridge for a few minutes for the chocolate will harden.


Enjoy!
