Your pictures are so fun and pretty. What is your secret?

Thanks Mary! I think the most important thing is natural light. With composition, my advice is to copy photos you like–you may not be able to put into words why you like them, but if you mimic the set-up, you’re more likely to end up with a good photo too. And for close-ups, don’t be afraid of your macro setting!

My "standby cookie" tends to be chocolate-chip, but I seem to keep forgetting how delicious and easy peanut butter cookies are to bake. I think I'll be baking some of these soon! Anali’s last blog post..Winter Morning Cinnamon Rolls I'm with you on the chocolate chips...coming Friday!

I think I like peanut butter cookies better without the chocolate. Maybe just because I love the criss-cross fork print; it’s one of those things that never changes. These are great photos too — wonderful composition and the cookies came out looking really crispy and light.

I hear you on the criss cross! It’s what gets me too. Thanks for the compliments on the photos–I wasn’t *thrilled* with them because they could be crisper but I also wasn’t dedicating any more minutes to adjusting them

These look deliziosissimi! Knowing how much PB costs in Italy, I hope your PB cookie eaters appreciate your efforts!

You can make a thumbprint in the cookies before you bake them and pipe or spoon some melted chocolate into the space after they have cooled. Not quire the same as a kiss, but just as good.
I would send you some kisses but I don’t buy Hershey chocolate anymore. I am boycotting them!

Good suggestion. I think I may have OD’d on the blossoms over the years b/c I actually really enjoy these without the chocolate now. I’m sure my tastes will change again in a few years. Yes, I remembered your Hershey boycott. I don’t have a choice but to boycott as their products aren’t sold here….

This post is killing me as they look just like the ones they used to serve at the school in my town and at our Board of Education meetings. Peanuts are now a no-no due to the advent of food allergies. Time for me to go buy some Nabisco peanut butter cookies.

Oh come on Gil…it’s time to bake!

Yummy looking cookies Michelle! Do you make cuccidatti ( fig cookies) too?

I’ve never even heard of them Pat; they sound Sicilian?

Peanut Butter cookies are my favorite!

Funny thing, I have never made them for Christmas. I always have to try to something new for the holidays, this year being Lemoncello’s – from FoodBlogga, along with my traditional Zucchini Bread and Pecan Dreams.

I think after the hollidays are over I am going to make a batch.

Mmmm, I’ll have some of each Bobbie

I am so looking forward to cheating on Jenny Craig this Christmas, and these cookies just topped the list of ways I’m going to do it. Lol

Love that kind of holiday planning Karina!
