Recipes for the Fall
Everyday I wake up all I want to do is cook, bake and share with the world, the love I have for my adventure. Technology gets in my way, someone who is the last of the baby boomers is having an extremely hard time navigating all the social media. So now I have taken to the blog side of life, not to say this is any better but at least I can work with this.
Yesterday morning I decided to make my husband the best peanut butter cookies he could get, my homemade not the three or four ingredient one, the long way with all the wonderful brown sugar, butter and vanilla I have. I did except on thing, I put my first pan in the oven and the light came on in my head, NO PEANUT BUTTER, needless to say I was grabbing the ones I just stuck in a 350 degree oven, put them back in the bowl and started scrapping the peanut butter into the bowl. I did it after all that work I had my first pan in the oven set to come out in 10-12 minutes. I was not looking forward to this, but it had to be done, first bite was one of the best mixed up peanut butter cookies I have eaten and all because of my senile self.

On the other side you see a picture of a t-shirt that my husband bought me last year and it is never out of sight because it represents our family, that is why we get along so well.
Peanut butter Cookies
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1 cup of Peanut Butter
1/2 cup salted butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla(I use vanilla bean paste)
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp mineral sea salt ( Redmond sea salt)
Combine dry ingredients, then cream butter, sugars, add peanut butter (almost forgot to type this), then add egg, vanilla, beat until incorporated. The salt is optional but I like a little salt but be careful if you are using salted butter and if your peanut butter has salt.
Preheat oven 350, roll into one inch balls, crisscross with fork. Cook for 10-12 minutes depending on your oven.
Final Thoughts
Please let me know about your days like mine. By hanging with God through faith trusting his will and submitting to his guidance, we can find peace and a deeper understanding that his timing and ways, though not always clear, are ultimately perfect and beneficial, leading us to a greater good than we could attain on our own.
