Day of Delirium #65 - The Best Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

So many people have been asking about his recipe that I decided to post it for all to see and use.

It is only 4 ingredients, gluten free and DELICIOUS!!!
Really and truly the best peanut butter cookier I have ever had with or without gluten.



Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter - creamy or crunchy - I suggest Jif Creamy or Wegmans Organic Creamy - not the natural varities

1 cup sugar - with some additional for rolling

1 large egg

1 teaspoon baking soda


Preheat oven to 350º
Grease baking sheets - although I used Chicago Metallic non stick cookie sheets without greasing and the cookies were  fine.
In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat together peanut butter and sugar until combined well.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg and then beat into the peanut butter mixture.
Add baking soda and beat well.

Roll dough into balls about 1-2 inches across.
Roll balls in sugar and arrange about 1 inch apart on baking sheets.
With tines of a fork, flatten balls into 2 inch diameter. Pressing across one way and then the other on the cookies.

Bake cookies in middle of oven until puffed and golden brown - about 10 minutes.

Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes and remove with a spatula.

Do NOT chill the dough. Cookies may be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (I have gone longer without an issue). Makes about 30 cookies.

Enjoy!!!!

I wish I had thought more quickly and I would have posted these pictures at the same time as this recipe.

Here is Mini-E trying to help with my cookie baking:

 Penguins, lovely.

Then we have the winner of best wrapping for Christmas 2010 hands down.

And yes, Virginia, this was a coincidence!

Luckily the insides of the package were a winner, too!!!

Amazingly enough I don't have this item in my vast Twi Collection.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for my Christmas Card to all of you :)

Day of Delirium #64 - Eclipse Days of Christmas

Sung to the tune of Twelve Days of Christmas:

On the Eclipse days of Christmas,

David Slade sent to me

Twelve dripping newborns,

Eleven degrees in snow,

‘10 Volvo XC60, 

 

 
 

Nine kinds of flowers, 

 
 

Eight Quileute a-waiting, 

 

Seven minutes in heaven, 

 

Six Pack Abs, 

 

Five Blue Cullens, 

 

Four high school kids, 

 
 

Three male Volturi, 

Two mean vampires, 

 
 

And Edward pushing down a tree. 

  Merry Christmas to all my friends in Twitardia.

May all your Christmas wishes and dreams come true.

 

 
+++++++++++++
 
Real words in case you didn't know them:
 
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtledoves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

Day of Delirium #63 - My Eclipse DVD weekend

FUN!

Easiest way to describe my Eclipse DVD weekend.

Pictures help too!!

Living with Edward and I traveled to Lancaster PA to meet Inotu and TeamSixPack to celebrate the Eclipse DVD release.  LwE and I decided to go out Friday night and stay over (I got a free suite too!!) so that we could relax on Saturday before meeting the other ladies. We had tons of fun in the room and even more fun meeting Inotu and TeamSixPack. Here are some pictures from our weekend:

 Mini-E and Edward hang out in the room.

Living with Edward getting the FSE's ready for bed.

Hmmmm that looks pretty comfy. I wonder if I can get any time with the FSE's?

Dang it! How did I get stuck with Bill??

NO I don't want any pudding!!

OH MY!!

All we wanted was a picture of the FSEs with an Amish buggy. 

While driving to Target, we found one and luckily there was tons of traffic so we could honk like crazy to get Inotu to turn. 

Here are Living with Edward, Twilight FSE, Team Six Pack (who asked that her picture not be posted in the Twidom - I hope you like your smiley), New Moon FSE and Inotu hanging with the Amish.

It was just a little cold!!

Team Six Pack and Living with Edward hanging in the Target parking lot with Edward.

Here are Team Six Pack and Inotu hanging out in the Target Starbucks with Mrs. P.

And what kind of Twilight weekend would it be if there weren't gifts!!??

 Mocha has a new friend, Latte. The cuteness is just overwhelming!

Then the biggie!! Living with Edward and her heart of gold gave me her winning autographed picture of Peter Facinelli that she won from Trixie and Tess. I love that she had him sign it "We'll always have Twitter." LOL!!!! The line is in regards to the tweets that Peter sent me back when Twilight Cupcake went to the Vancouver Canada TwiTour and had lunch with Peter. I am blessed with such amazing friends. Thank you

But Living with Edward wasn't done yet. She knew how much I really wanted a Bella doll, yes I really want a Bella doll, so she kindly indulged me. Woo Hoo!!

Inotu also gifted me some wonderful treats!!
My favorite gluten free pretzels, Eclipse Sweethearts, and two gluten free snack bars.
All wonderful treats for watching Eclipse.

Inotu also makes her own glass work and she gifted each of us a piece of jewelry.

I adore pendants and I love how the gold accents in this piece look like leaves.

Gorgeous. Inotu is very talented.

Finally, my copy of Eclipse - the Target Special Edition - and the Destination Forks.
I hate to admit they are both still wrapped.

Then on our way home we spotted a Toys R Us and Living with Edward whined so much about stopping to see if they had the new Neca Eclipse dolls that I had to stop just to get her to be quiet.
I am kidding of course :)
Well they didn't have the dolls but all the Twilight stuff was 50% off!!
I got some things I have been wanting.

The only one that was there! Go Team Switzerland!

Thank you Team Six Pack for a great day and for hanging with us. It was so awesome to finally meet you. I was in complete fan girl mode!

Thank you Inotu for the gifts and the gorgeous piece of jewelry. It is so nice to have another gluten free friend.

Thank you Living with Edward for traveling with me, making me laugh too much (especially with Bill Cosby), for all my amazing gifts and for being such a wonderful friend.

Hugs to you all!
