I am a peanut butter maniac. I will never tire of peanut buttery goodness. I will and do practically eat it every day. Now I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and I rarely do desserts, but the holidays are here and I need Christmas cookies. Using fresh natural ingredients really livens up everything you eat, including desserts. So make sure your peanut butter is fresh and consists of peanuts only, no extra ingredients. Make sure your sugar is unrefined pure cane sugar. Try using coconut oil to replace shortening in any recipe for a rich, flavorful boost. These cookies are sure to please!
