When Arlene Gives You Lemons...

...make lemonade!










When Nancy Gives You A Cookie Recipe... 
                                    ...Definitely, Make Cookies!
We made these pretty, 3 ingredient cookies the same day as the lemonade.  Yum!

INGREDIENTS:

1 C Peanut Butter
1 C Sugar
1 egg

(These measurements are for all-natural peanut butter.  You may want to reduce the amount of sugar if your peanut butter is sweetened.)

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. If you don't have parchment paper, you can probably slightly butter and place powdered sugar on the bottom of the cookie sheet. Or butter and a tiny bit of flour. You just don't want the pan to be greasy.

Toss the ingredients into a bowl.

Mix till well combined.

Take about 1 Tablespoon of the dough and roll into a ball.
Place on cookie sheet.

You can leave as balls and bake or you can take a fork and flatten. 
Continue this until you fill the cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-13 minutes. 

Let cool slightly.

Eat!

Variation: If you leave as balls, once baked, you can press a Hershey's Kiss into the center. This will flatten the cookie.


Thanks, friends! :)

Both look yummy. One question though...why is the lemonade in canning jars?

We juiced the lemons and added simple sugar, but left out the water. I put it in canning jars to freeze and use later. There is enough for 5 eventual pitchers of lemonade!

Yum! I want to come over for a lemonade and cookie party! Those cookies are definitely something I'd like to try!
