peanut butter and cinnamon cookies
Truth be told, and why shouldn’t it be, I’m not such a fan of peanut butter. Maybe it’s a texture thing, I don’t know. It’s crazy, because I love peanuts. I could polish off one of those huge jars of Planter’s Roasted Peanuts during a single episode of Raising Hope. And that’s giving me plenty…

Individual servings and no cutting required. I first made the Cookie Cupcakes with Raspberry Fluff Frosting for my lovely friend Megan’s birthday. They…
