Welcome to the February 18th Foodie Friday. Next week will be our second anniversary for this event and everyone is cordially invited. There will be a drawing for something fabulous! Also, if you haven't entered the copper cookware giveaway, there's still plenty of time.If you'd like a chance to win a copy of Gone With a Handsomer Man, there's a contest going on at Starpulse.
Now for today's foodie offering...
When I need a dessert but I'm in a rush, I'm fond of gilding store-bought cookies.
What You Need:
- Store bought cookies (or homemade, of course!)
- Microwave dipping chocolate
- peanut butter chips
- squeeze bottle (a clean mustard bottle will work--or a fork, if you have a steady hand).
- waxed paper
Melt the chocolate according to directions on the container. Melt the peanut butter chips in the microwave (I add a bit of milk after microwaving until the mixture reaches a "spreadable" consistency.
Dip each cookie, just the edge. Alternate chocolate and peanut butter. Place remaining chocolate into a squeeze bottle. Set on waxed paper and drizzle.

A little drizzled chocolate adds a lot of class! So does the sweet serving dish.

Great idea for dressing up store bought cookies!
Love your gilded cookies~ what a great idea!
I love "semi-homemade". These are a fun treat, and adding chocolate to anything makes it better!
I have dipped store bought cookies in chocolate and drizzled them with chocolate when quickly putting together a tea, but from now on I will "gild" them!
What a fantastic idea! Your cookies look gorgeous and I love the serving plate!
I don't know why I never thought of this... what a great idea!
I just love how you make fancy store bought cookies fancy! They are so wonderful! I could use a few at the moment!!! I linked my Valentine's Tea in a Gazebo, showing my peppermint heart brownies. They were divine!

Definitely an easy way to dress up some basic cookies. They are making my mouth water.
We all need to dress up sometime, even the cookie and it looks so pretty in the nice chocolate dressing. Thank you for hosting us today and have a great week end!
What a fabulous idea!!!
Gilding the lily is one of my favorite expressions... and you do it so well! Great idea to dunk ANYTHING in chocolate and then makes it look like you made a big fuss... Happy 2nd ANniversary... time flies, doesn't it??
I find new things every week in your virtual salon!
Thanks for hosting! Very beautiful!
Thanks for hosting! Now that is dressing up a store-bought cookie.

Your cookies are amazing! My favorite combination too...thanks for sharing that simple & great idea. I have linked up to your Foodie Friday for the first time....have a great weekend.
I love this idea, even for homemade cookies. I am going to start doing this since now mine just seem plain and boring! So many good recipes posted. I better get busy on visiting!
Those cookies look like pieces of art. Great idea to add the gourmet look to store bought cookies.
Thank you for hosting - this is fun! :-)
SO fancy and SMART! Love it. Thanks!
Those cookies looked divine. I wanted to take a bite right away.

Hey Miss Micheal! What a tricky girl you are! Seriously, I love the idea of gilding the cookies! Sharing a quick and easy left over makeover, cheesey roasted root vegetable pasta bake! All the best! Alex
What a fun idea to do with store bought cookies!! Delicious, too!
Have a wonderful weekend ~
I guess you could say I did almost the same thing last week when I dipped doublestuf oreos in brownie mix and baked them...yum! I'm all about NOT re-inventing the wheel...especially when it comes to baking. Thanks for sharing and hosting Michael Lee ;)
Fondly, Roberta
Just clicked "I'd like to read this on my Kindle" at Amazon! Keeping my fingers crossed GWAHM will be available...just got a kindle for Valentine's Day :-)
These look too perfectly pretty to ear, but I could probably force myself!
I love the way you decorate these cookies to make them your own. :) They are beautiful! Who doesn't love extra chocolate on their cookies?! Smart!

Absolutely wonderful idea.
The kiddies will LOVE all of that chocolate. Especially loaded with spinkles and a drizzle of even more chocolate!
