PB Cookies

Ok, so I made chocolate chip cookies again lastnight. It seems that lately I have been making them at a minimum of three times a week. It gets old, but they always taste delicious so I guess that makes up for the redundancy.

Anyway, I also decided to make peanut butter cookies. Normally I use the super simple recipe on the back of the Kraft jar or the one my Nan always used from the Purity cookbook (circa 1980's) but I decided to try a different one this time. I adapted this recipe from a post on Lovin' From the Oven. I was slightly disappointed with their appearance. They definitely didn't look as appetizing as the ones I normally make. But they did taste good, so that's all that matters I suppose.

Most importantly, CONGRATS to my best friend Amy who got accepted into the education program at Mt. St. Vincent!! Well deserved & so happy for you, XO.
