Peanut Butter Goodness.

Sometimes Chocolate Chip just isn't good enough.

I found the easiest, most delicious Peanut Butter cookies ever on Pinterest!

I found this recipe from Jamhands blog.

The recipe only calls for three ingredients...

Peanut Butter
Sugar
Egg

Let me tell you how to do it...

1 Cup of Peanut Butter (I used light PB--the cookies are definitely rich enough without using full fat PB)
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Egg

That's it.

Step-by-step:

  1. Combine all the ingredients together and mix well until it is all thoroughly combined.
  2. Roll balls of dough into balls--about 12 (just a hair smaller than golf balls).
  3. Place them on the cookie pan (No need to grease it, the peanut butter works well for that)
  4. Flatten each ball. 
  5. To get the classic Peanut Butter Cookie look with th criss/cross pattern on top of the cookies, take a fork, wet it a bit, dip it in sugar and press into the dough in two opposite angles on each cookie.
  6. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
  7. Enjoy! 
I'm telling you guys, these are the easiest cookies I have ever made, and I don't even really love normal peanut butter cookies, but these are to die for!

Let me know if you try to make them and what you think!

Hope your weekend is starting off great!

Because it's Pinteresting.

Because I am attempting to make a more frequently updated blog, I decided I should dedicate some certain days to different things...

Tuesday in my life is pretty chill and fun for the most part.

Since I'm so addicted to Pinterest, I feel like it's only fair to update you all on the cool finds I am entertaining myself with via Pinterest.

So every Tuesday I will share my top 5 favorite Pins of the week!

One:

I have had the worst Choco-Peanut Butter tooth ever lately, Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie Trifle looks like it would do the job. Of course the best part is making it, tasting it, then passing it off onto Matt, roommates, or the guys on Matt's hall. (The last thing we want is "The Freshman Fifteen" right before the wedding!)

Two:


I have been so busy with school that I have yet to really decorate my part of the dorm like I would like to. I am such a fan of the messy, cluttered look. Plus I love the idea of having all of my interests, inspirations, and loves on one board. This Inspiration Board is next on my list of to-do's!


Three:


Thinking about a wedding often leads me to thinking about our home some day! Like I said, I love the cluttered. And we've been over my deep love for chandeliers. Oh, and turquoise is my favorite color. So basically what I am saying is that this kitchen is my ultimate dream kitchen!

Four:


Matt and I have been thinking a lot about engagement photos lately! Wendy (Matt's mom) is coming out for Thanksgiving and so we're going to go out and get some engagement pictures taken while she's here. Pinterest, like it is for everything, is great for finding Engagement Photo ideas! These are some of our favorites so far!


I'm crazy about the guitar idea! Matt does play, and I don't know how... Meant to be maybe?



I think I like the chalk idea more than Matt... Mainly because he can't handle the sound of chalk on a chalkboard... I vote he can suck it up ;]


We both fully agree that the road kiss needs to happen... Although kissing at Liberty is not permitted. It's okay to be a rebel once in awhile though, right? 

Five:

If you haven't noticed, I have created a pattern of things that are relevant to my life... So of course I need to ruin that with something that is not at all relevant, right? This is 100% for entertainment. Matt and I saw this and laughed for a solid 5 minutes. So hard that we were both crying. It is awesome. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed our first official Pinteresting Tuesday! If you don't already have a Pinterest account, change that. It's great! If you do have one, follow my Pinboards ! If you have one let me know, I'd love to follow yours! 

Sending my love,
