Peanut Butter Monster Cookies

12/15/2014

It was a blustery 26 degrees when I woke up this morning! That is COLD for Atlanta. 26 degrees people! Last winter when it got down to 9 degrees it just about sent all of Georgia into a state-wide snow induced panic - let us not forget snowpocalypse 2014.

By this afternoon, temperatures will probably be back into the 60's so no need for statewide panic but I am going to advantage of the cool morning temperatures as an opportunity to warm myself up in front of a warm oven. As long as I'm there, I might as well bake a batch of cookies too.

Warm cookies on a cool morning sounds like a great idea.

This batch of peanut butter monster cookies are sure to warm you up from the inside out.
