Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Happy Peanut Butter Day!

Yep, it’s actually a holiday.  I figured we could celebrate by sharing one of my family’s favorite peanut butter cookie recipes.  I guess I could’ve shared my chicken satay recipe but we’ll save that for another day.

 It’s a favorite because 1) we ALWAYS have peanut butter in the pantry and 2) the recipe is super easy.

 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth, your preference)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Mix peanut butter, sugar and egg until smooth. 
3. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto lightly greased OR nonstick baking sheet. 
4.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 6 - 8 minutes
5.  Let cool completely.

Oh, if you are allergic to peanut butter you can substitute cashew butter.  
Does your family like peanut butter cookies?

Do you have a tried and true favorite recipe using peanut butter?

Peanut butter cookies are wonderful. I would have to make a double batch these wouldn't last long around my house.

The nut butter is fine, but I need to switch out the sugar. Gotta find a replacement for this awesome cookie!

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...
