With all this talk about cookies I decided to post an easy cookie recipe.

This one is made with a Jiffy pie crust mix.

JIFFY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
makes about 18 cookies
Tip: add water slowly and don't over mix.
Allow cookies to completely cool before removing.

Ingredients

* 1 (11 ounce) package pie crust mix
* 1 cup peanut butter
* 3/4 cup brown sugar
* 3 tablespoons water

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the pie crust mix, peanut butter and brown sugar. Incorporate the water, one tablespoon at a time, while mixing gently. Roll into 1 inch balls. Place onto a cookie sheet and flatten slightly with a fork.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

It's 1:00pm and the snow is starting to fall pretty good.
Columbus city schoolers who are in junior or high school
are letting out early. I looked out the window and seen
school buses going by.
I haven't seen any plows yet but have seen a truck on our
street putting down brine, the liquid salt.
Calling for around 4 inches with heaviest
snowfall between noon and 6pm.
Another 1-3 inches expected overnight.
Blowing snow possible with wind gusts
tomorrow of up to 30mph.
A low of 0 tomorrow with wind chills reaching -10.

1PM



And here is one from 3:25PM. Snow is slowing building up on the truck.


4:35PM Slowly losing sight of windows.


4:45PM
Just measured snow on hood of truck
at about 5.25 inches.


Any guess as to what this vehicle of ours used to be before the snow???

Just let out my abusive dog.
I was on the cell phone
holding it between ear and shoulder
when trying to let her in. I bent over and grabbed her
cable getting ready to unhook her while on the stoop.
She was bound determined to dart in the house while I had hold of her
cable. She pulled me with her and made
me bang my head on the door frame. Now I have
a knot on my head! Bad Dog!

Got one batch of cookies done today.
I send samples to Tony's work to see
what the guys think. Upon those reviews
is when I decided whether or not I enter
it into the Betty Crocker cookie contest.

The other day I mentioned the web site about $1.00 store recipes.
