Lazy Peanut Butter Cookies...

Rate: 1 Flag

My kitchen was painted a brilliant yellow last year and as a result, it always looks like sunshine is pouring in.  It has become one of my favourite places to sit even on overcast days. The cats' dishes are here and that means that a cat is always nearby; eating/complaining/drinking or scrounging for dropped food.  

I love this recipe because it is so simple. I can make a batch whenever I have a craving for homemade without a lot of work.  The ingredients are staples and always on hand. 

Within an hour, I have a fresh baked cookie to go with my tea and my cats have crumbs to hoover up. Everyone is happy.  The recipe makes just two dozen so they are gone  long before they have a chance to go stale or before I get tired of eating them.

These sound very easy and good. And I love yellow kitchens for the same reasons you do.
