Do you love peanut butter?
a. No
b. It’s ok.
c. Yum!
d. I’d die without it.
- Let me tell you folks, the only right answer to this question is d. Obvs.
- You see, these cookies are for the kind of people who answer d to the question above every time. I mean, look at those ingredients!
- Now that you’ve realized your error (if you chose anything but d, here comes the recipe (and a little bit of the story behind it).
- School is in full swing, I’m transitioning into a new role at work, and our girls’ soccer team has their first game this week. Life is moving along full speed.
- But- it seems like I can always make time to whip up a batch of cookies. My Mom always told me, “You make time for what’s important.” I loved/hated it when she said that, but it’s true. Priorities reveal themselves in what you do and how you spend your time. And let me tell you-if you’re a peanut butter lover, these cookies will make their way to the top of your to-do list! Enjoy!
