Never tried them, but the weird thing is, that I just bought penutbutter and was thinking "Cookies" yesterday - so there they are. When I've made them can I translate the recipie to Danish and post it refering to you of course? Regards Deborah

Tina~ Those look so good. My hubby would
love those,anything with peanut-butter.
Only problem is he would eat all 60 cookies
in about 15min.LOL.
Glad you,Monica and LaurieAnna are all o.k.
Glad it wasn't Canton Trade Days time.That
was some bad weather over there.:O)

peanut butter cookies is one our faves. My hubby especially loves them. Now that the weather is dark and rainy, I should make him a batch while he is at school all day to surprise him. Thanks for the yummy post. Have a grand day,

Came by for a peek. Just made me happy to be here. I too love pb cookies. We have a rare rainy day in California...so that would be a big hit with the kids. My sister has a new blog and I checked her profile to see that she visits you. Of course that meant I had to too. Hope you come by for a visit sometime. Oh yeah, your pup and your blog design is adorable. Holly:)

Guess since you're posting recipes, all is well! Assumed since you post about the shop in Canton all the time, that's where you were close to. You know what they say about assuming though!
