When I get myself into these frenzies, I need to remind myself what’s most important. This is the greatest time ever to start up the cookie baking again, right? Right. Why? Because it isn’t just me and my hubby anymore. We have a family now, and even if life is a bit crazier, I’ve learned quickly that traditions are important. I think we need to get the family together and get those cookie sheets greased again. . .because these peanut butter cookies are HAPPENING! I hope they happen at your house, too.
