My sister-in-law makes the MOST AMAZING peanut butter blossom cookies (sorry mom). If you never have a peanut butter blossom cookie- I suggest you don't. Because you'll eat the whole plate like I tend to do whenever she makes them!
So tonight I got a hankering for some of those amazing cookies and decided to make some. But turns out I didn't have the ingredients. :p No problem right? I really love revamping and being creative in my baking and cooking using different ingredients. So I took on the challenge.
If you look in my cookbooks I have ingredients crossed out with new ones put in, and different measurements and ideas. I think it's fun to change things up and trying to things when cooking and especially baking!
So tonight I used some of my new favorite ingredients to make a new version of these peanut butter cookies.
The result? Amazingness.
