Even though this weather makes is seem otherwise, Christmas is just around the corner. We here at Team Peach are busy planning gifts for our friends and family. Being that we are a house on a tight budget, it seemed obvious what we should gift to everyone...FOOD!!! We will be giving tins of homemade cookies and candy! So, to prepare for these gifts, we have been baking up a storm. Trying out new holiday inspired recipes and finding the best ones. We were successful! Found a great peanut butter chocolate chip recipe that I will share with you below...However, it wouldn't be Christmas without giving some sort of gift to you, our readers. Besides the recipe, of course.
SO! Share with us your favorite holiday inspired cookie or candy recipe. We will pick one recipe at random, add it to our gift tins, AND send you (the winner) a tin as well! Sound good? Get posting!
