    Valentine's Day Peanut Butter Cookies from 5DollarDinners.com

    As a busy mom, I love seeing adorable and delicious ideas like this…because this is actually something that I can pull off…that doesn’t require the skill of a surgeon or expert cookie decorator! (lol)

    I sometimes get discouraged when I see all the amazing and clever ideas for holiday treats……and then realize that I’m just not that pinteresting mom. So I don’t even bother.

    But then there’s this.

    Simple cookie dough. (I can get behind that.)

    Rolled in pink and sparkly sprinkles. (I need more pink in my life. And the boys will totally want to help with this.)

    And they don’t take any extra time or effort to make. (I can easily fit this into our schedule.)

    See where this is going.

    Cute, pink cookies that I could actually accomplish in my busy day-week-Valentine’s Day!

    And I hope you can too…..

    Much love to you this V-Day! <3 <3 <3

      Made these yesterday and they were so good! They are not the traditional crunchy cookie but rather a delightful soft and chewy. I normally am not a peanut butter cookie eater but my 8 months pregnant self saw these and needed them in my mouth! So glad I decided to try them out. Will definitely be making these again!
