Today was one of those days. One of those that felt a bit off. Not to sound negative, but something wasn't sitting right with me today. I wasn't sure whether it was me or something in the air. I kept going over it in my head, whether I had forgotten to do something for work or whether I had forgotten something else important. Couldn't think of a thing.
I tried putting this feeling out of my head, but there's still this residual uneasiness. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep it off.
Well, stepping into something cheerier, today is Day 2 of my 12 Days of Christmas Cookies. Are you as excited as I am? I sure hope so! Today's fancy feature is the good ol' classic peanut butter. I'm sure many of us have eaten countless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in our lifetime. So why not make cookies out of it? And the best part? You can now make peanut butter cookie sandwiches with any filling that your heart desires - jelly, nutella, s'mores, ice cream...
