| TheArmchairChef.com Needlework and Quilting Holiday Bake Along 2007 Peanut Butter Cookies |
| I got the original recipe from the Better Homes & Gardens Cook Book which I’ve had since I got married 38 years ago. I made a slight change to it! I added more peanut butter which makes the cookies moister. We have a new son-in-law this year who we lovingly call “Cookie Monster” since he can never walk by a batch of cookies without pick one up to eat!I traditionally bake about 12 different kinds of cookies each Christmas season. I try to add a new recipe each year, but this is one old favorite that is always requested.This year our daughters and their spouses will be home for the holidays. We have to trade off with the in-laws every other year. We are very excited since our oldest daughter and her husband are expecting their first child, our first grandchild, in April. I wonder which of my cookies will be his or her favorite. |

| ROSEWOOD MANOR features award winning cross stitch designs by Karen Kluba. Karen loves to design cross stitch using traditional quilt patterns and old fashioned samplers, but with a new twist. She has recently designed some beautiful samplers; one is called “AND A FOREST GREW” which features several sampler trees. Another is “ABC TAPESTRY” which features an entire alphabet and several motifs of items starting with that letter. Well you just have to see it to believe it! Karen adapted a quilt from the 1800’s into cross stitch when she created “INSPIRATION”, again you just have to see this one! Karen has also designed a few quilted items; plus she now also sells, finished ready to give as gifts or keep, purses. These small bags are great for special occasions when you want to carry only your cell phone, credit card and lipstick! Check these out on her “Bags” page. No two will ever be alike! Want to make your own bag? Karen sells the patterns at quilt shops or on her “Quilt Patterns” page. Karen always has more new designs “in the works” so check her website often.website: http://www.rosewoodxstitch.comBLOG: http://www.rosewoodmanor.blogger.com |
