Funny picture of me and Addi making cookies together. I don't know why the toaster is out.
Nana ( my maternal grandmother) has been pretty sick lately. She has been in the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks now. Feeling nostalgic and having her in my thoughts made me want to make her famous Peanut Butter Cookies. I don't give the recipe out to many people. But she would want other people to enjoy them so I am having a change of heart. They really are that good!
Addi liked eating the cookie dough best.

Can you mail us some? Man, I miss your cooking and you too. BTW, nobody would have even noticed that your toaster was out if you didn't say anything.
Oh my gosh...my heart just started to race when I saw the title of this post! Are you really giving us the recipe? Stop my beating heart!!! Woohoo!
OK...so I just went back and read the whole thing...my prayers are with your Nana. It is so hard to see someone you love going through something difficult. SO hard. I hope you are OK. Love to you. :)
