TWD: Peanut Butter Crisscrosses

This week’s Tuesdays With Dorie is one of my favorite cookies ever – peanut butter! They were chosen by Jasmine of Jasmine Cuisine.

I lamely forgot to check the TWD site before I went grocery shopping last week so I could add any missing ingredients to my list, but I was happy to find that I had pretty much everything I needed for these. The one thing I was missing was the salted peanuts, and though those were obviously what set these cookies apart from regular peanut butter cookies, I went on without them and actually ended up substituting Heath bits instead. They turned out perfectly!

The recipe makes a lot of cookies, but my family are peanut butter cookie fans too, so they’re not going to go to waste!

Bread Machine Rolls

Bread Machine Rolls

Several weeks ago while getting a dinner in the crockpot, I decided some rolls would go well with it. Since I’d just finished making dinner I didn’t want to have to start all over again with bread, so I went online to see what I could find using my bread machine’s dough setting. Read More
