Culinary Scribbles: Spring! AND Cookies!

Hello again blogger friends! I'm back, and to show you, 1: pics of spring, and 2: to show you some cookies!

Alrighty, lets get down to business. Winter was here, bleary and grey, and then, BOOM, out of nowhere, spring appeared. Any one else in a agreement?

I mean, I was getting tired of winter, and was looking forward to it, and then it was there, out of the blue, and I was so happy. Here is some pics of flowers on our property that I took . . .

I mean, how pretty are those pics??!! I know it is a lot, but I just had to show them all. Any who, as soon as spring came, summer was like, "Move over Spring, I want to come forward!" Like, quiet literally. A week or so after spring came, summer appeared, blaring and hot in the 70's-80's. It's not actually summer of course, but it sure feels like it. XD But it feels so good at the same time though.

AND . . . I now have some cookies to show you, and a recipe!! Here are the pics . . .

Good, right?? The top one is plain M&M cookies, and the bottom is Reese's pieces cookies. Sooooo good. And, now the recipe . . . if of course you want to have this delicious desert.
