Sweet Treats

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend celebrating Valentine's Day with the ones you love. Our weekend was super nice & I made some sweet treats for my husband. The way to his heart is sweets, so what better then to make some delicious white chocolate dipped pretzels & sugar cookies. He really loved both (& so did I), so I thought I would share the recipes with you.

My husband definitely loved all the sweets that I made him. The pretzels disappeared very quickly :) And I will be honest with you, I have tried several different recipes out for gluten free cookies & these were the BEST ones that I have ever had! They didn't even taste like they were gluten free. They were very moist and scrumptious! 

You should definitely try these out & let me know what you think !!
