Vanilla Peanut Butter Cookies

One Pin At a Time

I do not think I have shared with you my love, wait, scratch that, my obsession with Pinterest…have I? Well, I am addicted! I just downloaded the app onto my iPad and things have gotten much worse.

I pin all kinds of recipes, craft projects, diy projects, ideas, and much more. However, I never do anything with these pins. So I have decided to start posting  my findings from pinterest….One Pin At a Time.

My first post is from my Food, Need I say more? board. It is a Recipe for Vanilla Peanut Butter Cookies, which were very like chocolate chip with a little more vanilla flavor.

 Mine did not turn out as chewy looking because the recipe called for crisco and all I had was butter 😦 They were still a big hit and I recommend them greatly!

For your enjoyment, here is the recipe:
