Cookies and Scales

Before I get on with this post,
let me tell you it's about those dang 
PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
you most likely are getting sick and tired of hearing about.....

Last week when the twins had their wisdom teeth CUT taken out,
I made some of these very soft cookies for them....
they almost melt in your mouth...





I've made these cookies for more years than I can remember...

and I've served them up so many ways..
and SO many
PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE PHOTO SHOOTS....






That olden beautiful crock was given to me in 1965 by my sweet and
 missed-so-much,
AUNT LILLIAN

"She was the one that always put a dab of Vanilla behind each ear when cooking with
 Vanilla Flavoring..."

Well, I made them again last night ....
and we had ANOTHER photo shoot.

(remember....with me, it's not ALWAYS about the food...
it's more how it makes a great PHOTO)
 I love using my vintage WELCH scales in my photo shoots....
 I bought these about 8 or 9 years ago at a garage sale,
just down the street from our olden house...
$2.00


sooo, the $2 was a great price..
gotta love it...
 
 I've always loved scales of all kinds...
so I was glad to find these for such a great price.

This is the BEST candle from Gander Mountain..
on sale for $13 and it smells JUST like fresh, sweet APPLES....
this pic of it isn't TOTALLY random...
I used it in my photo shoot.....:)
and now, can't find a picture one with the candle in it...
go figure....
When I was a bit under the weather last week,
my sweet friend, MARTHA, brought me these adorable little roses...
so of course, they had to be in the pictures here.
 "THANK YOU AGAIN, MARTHA....I so hope I can keep them alive."


...here's those little scales again...


 For you Kerig users,
if you like a dessert coffee every now and then...
TRY  THIS  ONE...yummy


This post ended up being all over the place
but it was fun going back and looking at some of the
COOKIES and SCALES 
photos and adding them here.

That's what blogging is all about to me..
having fun with it...

  5. Poor granddaughters! You are a sweetheart to think of something soft and yummy for them. You do have fun blogging and you take the.best. food. photos. Sometimes, when I am trying to diet, it makes my resolve weaken. Ha! I could not blog if I had to be as cheery as you are! Good thing we each do our own thing; otherwise, Blogdom would be a pretty dull place. No one does what you do as well as you!

  10. That scale is so great. I think your recipe is awesome...sorry, can I confess I don't like peanut butter in cookies, cakes or ice cream? Just me. I love it alone in a sandwich but otherwise, no. Call me weird! Still love your post.

  19. bj, How could we ever get sick of thinking about peanut butter cookies? They look delicious and I wish I had one with my breakfast right now! Keep going with your blog just the way it is--I love posts that are all over the place and full of fun! Linda

  20. I am so amazed at the numbers of people these days with peanut allergies. It is sad to think they will never enjoy a PBJ slathered with homemade jam or sink their teeth into a big ol' PB cookie. And these do look like I could sink my teeth into a couple dozen of them!

  21. Oh those cookies do look amazing and so do your great photos of them! I love to photograph food too...what is that all about? I am forever taking pics of what I made and put it on facebook before I eat it ...lol! Those are some really cool scales and what a great bargain! I love getting something really cheap and the looking it up on ebay :)

  26. BJ,
    LOVE your posts about food!
    Those scales were one $WEET Deal!
    They remind me of the local grocer where they weighed the freshly ground hamburger and fresh chickens!
    Hope the Grands are feeling better. . .I'm sure G'Ma's peanut butter cookies were a huge hit!
    Fondly,
    Pat

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
