I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Grown Up Peanut Butter Shortbread Cookies

Next level peanut butter cookies... you may never want old school PB cookies again!

Ingredients:
2/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
2  1/4 cups flour
2-4 tbsps butter, room temperature

2 oz - 70% dark chocolate
1 tsp butter
chopped peanuts
coarse pink himalayan salt (optional)

Begin by melting 2/3 cup of butter then add the peanut butter. Mix in the sugar and honey, then add the flour in 2 additions. The dough will be crumbly. Add room temperature butter, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough just holds together when pressed.

Sprinkle your rolling surface and rolling pin with sugar and roll out dough to about 1/3" thickness. Cut in shapes. I used a 2" round cookie cutter.

Place on parchment lined baking sheets 2" apart and chill in refrigerator 10-15 minutes.
Then bake at 375 F for 8 minutes. Cool on baking sheet before transferring to rack.

Melt the 70% dark chocolate with the butter (I learned my lesson about that! See my previous post.)
Spoon the melted chocolate into a small plastic bag, snip a corner and start drizzling the chocolate onto the cookies. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on right away...

and a little grind of pink himalayan salt for good measure!
Makes 34 - 2" rounds
