Last weekend my mom hosted a house warming party.  It was an afternoon Open House and a HUGE success.  I hope to  share some of the before and afters of their retirement home.  They basically gutted the house and did a lot of renovations.  I only wish everyone who attended could’ve seen it before.  The house has come a long way!  Sweet and simple farmhouse decor that makes you feel right at home.

As the week before the Open House approached, my mom was hard at work prepping.  She told me she was making Peanut Butter Cookies and Oatmeal Cookies.

My first thought was, “Did she just say Peanut Butter Cookies?”

Oh yes she did…  I was pumped.  I can’t even remember the last time I had them.

My second thought, “Maybe she’ll have extra and I can share them on the blog.”

Guess what?  She had extras and I’m here to share this family favorite with all of you.  Booyah!

Recipe at livelaughrowe.comThese cookies are one of my all-time favorites, flavorful with a little bit of crunch.  My mom has been making these for years.

As a matter of fact, she showed me the worn out, greasy page ripped from a 1991 Woman’s Day Magazine.  The recipe was called Peanut-Butter Crisscross Cookies.  Call them what you may, but this is one recipe that will have you wanting more than one or two.

Author Live Laugh Rowe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar

  • Roll heaping teaspoonfuls of dough into balls.  Place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.  Flatten with fork, making a crisscross design.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes until browned.
