Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Gluten Free baking is not easy, and it quite often ends with a not very good product. Gluten free baked good can tend to be kind of gritty and grainy, with a weird after taste. This cookie recipe is actually the recipe I have used since I was a child, (way before I ever knew I was gluten intolerant) and it just so happens to be Gluten Free.

After 10 minutes, and only 3 ingredients you end up with warm, chewy peanut butter cookies.



Ingredients:

2 cups of Peanut Butter (crunchy or smooth, you pick!)
2 cups of White Sugar
2 Eggs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. In a medium mixing bowl, beat your eggs and sugar together until well combined. Next, add the peanut butter and stir really well. (This is the hardest step, as the dough gets thick and a little hard to stir.) After all ingredients are combined, grease your hands and roll a ball of dough that is about 1 inch wide. Place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. The last step is to use a fork to make the crisscross pattern on the top of the cookies. Bake at 375 for approximately 7 minutes. (Because of the high sugar content, these will burn quickly if you do not watch them. You want them to just start turning light brown.)

Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes before you move them. They will fall apart if you move them sooner.

Enjoy! :)

Pinterest, oh Pinterest... Where would we be without you?

Pinterest.

It's awesome, right?

Well, at least I think it is. Especially on nights like tonight where it is freezing cold outside and I'm looking for a last minute recipe for something that is warm on cozy. In planning for dinner tonight, I've put together a Pin board full of soup, stews and chili recipes that will hopefully get us through these cold nights! Feel free to check it out Here.


Stay warm!

Oh, Hello there Monday.

Since the Hubs is on a field trip with Belle today, I'm working from home alone.


That means me in my Pj's, coffee from my adorable Owl mug, and Pandora set on the "90's Pop" station.



Ahh, Hello Monday. :)





XOXO,

Fun Fall Tshirts

Our latest project was these fun Fall Tshirts. These were so fun to make, and are super simple.


We made these shirts using Freezer Paper stencils. You can find a few tutorials Here and Here


For their names, I loaded the freezer paper into my Cricut and used the Cupcakes Cartridge's "Girl Font" to cut the names before I ironed the freezer paper onto the shirt. The Pumpkin was drawn freehand, and the leaves were traced from leaf shaped cookie cutters we have. 

We used Fabric Paint in Squeeze bottles to add outlines and details to the shirts. This step is completely optional but we loved the completed look it gave. Here's a picture of the shirts before the freezer paper was peeled off. 

Below is the final products. 

You can make these shirts for any Holiday, or any event. Please feel free to post any questions you may have below and I will do my best to answer them. :)


Happy Fall, y'all!
