You are all going to hate me for posting this but I am still baking. I'm sure this is the last thing you want to see after the holidays. Well, I got bored last night so I decided to use the cream cheese sugar cookie dough I had pre-made a few days ago and make the chocolate dipped pretzels I had wanted to make last week. The pretzels are delicious. I used the Special Dark chocolate and then sprinkled perils over them. I put them in a pretty tin to finish it all off. :)
Spread that dough out!
Cute cut-outs for the holidays....

OMG those look so good!
Hate you? Are you kidding? I wish I lived next door so that I can invite myself over and help you eat those cookies! ;)
(p.s. thanks for the update on the ex-BF situation; I'm crossing all my fingers for you!)
everything looks great!
Yummmmie pretzels I like that:)
I like cookies veryyyy match ;)
yum, looks delicious! and i'm insanely jealous that you haven't gained weight. lol!
Delicious! I use a cream cheese recipe for sugar cookies too. Wonder if it's the same recipe...I bake them for only 8 minutes so they remain soft and they are so good I could eat a dozen!
Those pretzels turned out so pretty. Dark chocolate is my favorite!
AND good for you not to gain a pound. I never step on the scale, but my clothes are fitting the same so I don't think I gained any either. Yippee!
Please send me your email address so I can send you an invite to be a friend to my blog...I am going private.
Oh my goodness,they look sooooo good, I tell you I have eaten more sweets this past week.....enough!! Hope you have a wonderful new year my friend!!! Talk soon...
Your chocolate dipped pretzels look just divine!
Wait, what did you do with the sugar cookies? They look super yummy! Fat free too? I'll be right over!
michelle, your baked goods still make me hungry even after all of this holiday junk food eating.
i really like chocolate covered pretzels. they are the perfect blend of sweet and salty. for some odd reason, my stepdad is obsessed with pretzels and chocolate, but wouldn't dare eat them together. he's weird. haha
hope you had an awesome christmas!!
Can you come over and bake for me? ;) I would love to hear your recipe for the cream cheese sugar cookies, wanna share? You are making me HuNgRy!! =)
Blessings,
Megan
You haven't gained a pound yet because you have boxed them and sent them to me! hahaha
Bought the cat a harness and leash and took her for a walk outside was a bit slow but at least she was out in the sunshine. :)

Huh!! fabulous and no weight gain!!! I wish....say no more ha ha!!
They look lovely, and I agree that somtimes after the holidays then you get time to do some of the things you missed out on, I am always playing catch up and it is still fun !!
Have the most lovely 'New Year' and thankyou for your very lovely words, your visits are treasures.
Hugs Lynn xx
I wish I had the time/energy to cook anything this Christmas or New Years. They all look yummy and would gobble them right up.. Good think I don't live too close or bake right now.. congrats on not gaining any weight.. I'm just starting my new years resolution to exercise and lose some.. Great post!
Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies... that sounds like a "must have recipe".
Chocolate covered pretzels.. a favorite. I was wondering if the Special Dark Chocolate would work for it. I used it for my fudge this year and I love it... much better than than the milk chocolate.
Amazingly with all the food I've eaten this holiday season I haven't gained weight either. I'm plump enough, so no weight gain is good :-)
Thank you for the update on the ex-boyfriend.
I only dated one other boy besides my now husband back in high school. I got mad at the other boy and never talked to him again :-)

Still baking? I give you so much credit, I am all baked out. I must admit, those cookies look awful tempting..... Mr Ming likes to chew on plastic bags. Not a good thing for a cat to do. Plastic bags have been banished from my home...it's difficult some days to keep up. He likes to wake me up in the middle of the night too...just because he's lonely. Gotta love him, though. Happy New Year! Hugs, Kathleen
You've got like a magic metabolism! I love the new background! I'm with Theresa. I'll move to the other next door and we can help keep those pounds off together!
The pretzels look great - that would be a fun treat to make with my kids.
Yummy!
LOVE the new look!
These look scumptuous!!!
Happy Christmas + Merry New Year!
Yummy.... I too have been baking a lot during the holidays (Wphew!) I need a rest from the kitchen!
Have a lovely day

Wishing you and yours a fabulous New Year to come! Enjoy!
I love these--always a perfect combo, salty & sweet. Great on ice cream too!

Michelle I've been shopping for you! Lol! I found one door for $10 here http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/mat/972419067.html
Not the greatest looking now but has good potential.
And another set of the double type for $150

I bet your craigslist would have some too! I'm doing my part for Quincy! *winks* Vanna
I usually have a huge chocolate craving right about now....wish I had some of those to munch on. Looks really yummy, Michelle!
Fairmaiden,
Yes, I only use the cream cheese sugar cookie recipes when I make sugar cookies. Great minds think alike. :) I do them both with frosting and powdered. I just posted the recipe, see if it's the same. I like to leave mine soft too. I have been known to make them too soft and they crumble when I try to frost them. Eeek! :)
These look so yummy!
