Today I am sharing two awesome recipes with only a few ingredients each that are simple to make, so darn good – Rolo Turtles and Princess Cookies (Peanut Butter, Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches). These are favorites during the holidays, always the first to go on holiday cookie trays! Warning….they are addictive, you may want to make extra.
First Recipe, Easy Rolo Turtles
I mentioned before, our youngest has an egg allergy, it can be difficult finding easy treats that don’t contain egg. A lot of the egg-free recipes out there are time consuming with a lot of ingredients. It’s nice to have easy, go-to recipes that don’t compromise on taste. These are awesome…so addictive.

- Bag of Pretzels Squares or Rounds (You can use regular snaps, round or square pretzels. Butter and round were all I could find at our store that day, they were great)
- Bag of Rolos- approx 56 rolos in 12 oz. bag
- Bag of Pecan Halves
Directions
Preheat oven to 250*F Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Line the pretzels on cookie sheet, place a Rolo on top of each pretzel. Bake 4-5 mins, just long enough for the Rolo to get soft, DO NOT OVER BAKE. Pull from oven, take a pecan half and lightly press down on top of rolo. Cool. Eat. Yum.
Next Recipe, Princess Cookies
This recipe was shared by another good friend, Stacey. These Princess Cookies are my little one’s favorite, all my friends’ and family favorite too. Sweet and salty perfection!

On my blog you will find my favorite recipes along with tried and trues from cherished cookbooks and admired sites and magazines.
Can you tell me how far in advance of Christmas Eve a person can make the rolo turtles?
Those sound fun! On the Princess Cookies, it would be interesting to try other nut butters including some chocolate ones. You could also sub an M&M or 1/2 a candied cherry for those with nut allergies.
