Cookies and Fall!

Cooler weather makes me feel like baking and since my mom asked me to make my peanut butter cookies for her, I just couldn't say no.  I found a recipe on Allrecipes but I changed it up a bit about a year ago and I think its delicious.  When I first made them I did not know they were gluten free or what gluten even was.  When my mom found out that she was gluten intolerant, as was my brother and sister, I realized that I had the best cookie recipe ever for them.  They are super easy and the ingredients are ones that are usually on hand.  These are my absolute favorite peanut butter cookies!

Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix all ingredients.  Form into balls and press with forks in the traditional criss cross pattern.  Bake for 8-10 minutes. Enjoy!

On a side note, the mountains are simply stunning this fall.  I don't remember them ever being as beautiful as this year.  This is what I get to see each day.  And they become more and more colorful each day.

  3. Oh my those cookies look good. You make them just the way my mom use to with the fork pattern on top. Your mountains are gorgeous. So glad you're having wonderful fall weather. We're rainy and cold here but I don't mind. Time to pull out my wool for knitting and sit by the fire. Have a great day.
