Last weekend, I traded in my trusty wheels for a new set of wheels.  🚘  I'm crazy excited about my new ride but in all honestly, it's going to take me some time to learn all the new buttons, gadgets and features on this new vehicle.  I apologize in advance to all other drivers that I will inevitably flash my brights at while I look for my windshield wipers. 🤣🌧🤦🏻‍♀️  I'm a 50 year old with a catering business - safe to say, automotive technology isn't second nature to me. 😅

Thank goodness I have very knowledgeable (and patient) people in my life who teach me everything I need to know about my new car. (Several times in some cases.) 😂  It's not that I'm opposed to learning new things, I'm actually teaching myself a second language this year.   🤷🏻‍♀️  I may never figure out how to use the app to start my car remotely but I am determined to learn how to turn the air conditioner off when it's 30 degrees outside.  🥶

I feel like when I teach myself new things it exercises my brain muscle.  And trying out a new recipe is one of my favorite ways to get in a mental workout.  💪🏻  Why not try out a delicious new cookie recipe to work my brain and give my mouth and my stomach some benefits as well?  🍪

If you're a chocolate and peanut butter lover - you need Chocolate Peanut Butter Stuffed Cookies in your life. 🍫🥜  I would describe myself as a girl who's passionate about chocolate and I really enjoy creamy, smooth peanut butter but I've never been a big fan of the chocolate peanut butter fusion.  #sorryreeses  I was apprehensive about this recipe and it sat in my cue for quite a while but I hung onto it because I live with people who really enjoy that chocolate peanut butter combination.  And when I finally pulled out this chocolate peanut butter stuffed cookie recipe, I was pleasantly surprised.  They were perfect little pillows of peanut butter goodness dusted with powdery sweetness.  Maybe I actually am a chocolate and peanut butter person after all.  😅

These cookies were amazing and I know for a fact that I alone, could have eaten the entire batch in just a few days.  😬  They were THAT good.  Fortunately, I froze half the dough before it was baked which stopped me from eating them ALL.😂

Caio!
