Ingredients

• Bottle of Brut Rose Cava or your favorite Bubble

1. Freeze some wide mouth champagne or red wine glasses.

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookies

I love peanut butter cookies. Watch out. These cookies are trouble because they are so addictive. You’re going to want more than one…maybe two or three. Splurg a little! You deserve it!

• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sweet raisins (your favorite)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons roasted, salted peanuts
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. If you have a food processor, mix all of the ingredients and combine until very smooth.
2. If not, mix all ingredients in a large bowl and combine with a large spoon until dough is a smooth as you can make it. Roll into balls, shape into fun shaped cookies or form into bars for a sweet, addictive, delicious treat.

Dough can be stored on the counter, in the fridge, or in the freezer. Or my favorite place, in my tummy nomnomnom
