Good morning everyone today is Potluck Sunday. Tomorrow we are headed out on a Family Adventure Day so I wanted to bake some cookies before we go. Where are we headed you ask? well we are going to Dinasaur World and Fossil Rim Wild Life Center in Glen Rose. Since we cant see everything in one day we are planning on making it an overnight trip. We will be staying at the Best Western Dinosaur Valley Inn & Suites.
The kids are so excited. We love taking little family day trips they are so fun when you want to get away and so something together. We got a great all in one deal on a mini suite and passes for Dinosaur World. Plus when we visit Fossil Rim Wildlife Center we get 50% off daily admission with our yearly zoo pass, so it really is a fun and affordable little get away.
Well, when you have a road trip with kids you need snacks. So I made one of my favorite cookies to along on for the ride. Peanut Butter Cookies are on the top of my list as on of my favorite cookies. But instead of just making plain pb cookies I took them over the top and added resees pieces to the cookie mix. Usually I just add what ever I have on hand, peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, combination of both or resees pieces.
I can say that resees has to be my favorite addition to peanut butter cookies so that's usually my first choice. I am sure this recipe isn't anything new, but I wanted to share it with y'all. This will probably be my last post until Wednesday so I'm taking a we bit of a bloggy vacation. We plan on finding a nice place to have dinner together, so I am excited that I don't have to cook.
There is a restaurant in Glen Rose called Two Grannies Down Home Cookin. I was so syked to have a chance to visit and enjoy a meal, but they are only open Thur - Sun and we will be down there Monday and Tuesday, so we will have to make plans to visit another time. It really does sound like my kind of place. I hope you enjoy the cookie recipe. If you have a recipe to share I would love for you to link up.
Do you have a recipe you would like to bring to the potluck?
If so then link directly to your post, not your homepage, and please include a link back here to Mommy's Kitchen. I cant wait to see what everyone is bringing. Here is today's recipe for Peanut Butter Candy Cookies.
Cream the butter and then add the sugars. Cream the mixture again and then add the dry ingredients. Add the resees pieces last and mix to combine. Chill the cookie dough (I chilled mine about a hour). When ready to bake use a small cookie scoop and scoop out the cookie dough and shape into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place on a greased baking sheet and flatten down a bit. You can add a few more resees pieces if you like. Bake at 350 F until lightly brown about 9-10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet and then transfer to a cooking rack to cool completely.
Get a big glass of milk and enjoy!!!

Rihanna established her dance-pop credentials in summer 2005 with her debut smash hit, "Pon de Replay," and continued to demonstrate such hit potential in subsequent years (e.g., "S.O.S." in 2006; "Umbrella" in 2007; "Disturbia" in 2008). However, it was the singer's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, that made her a full-fledged international pop star with a regular presence atop the charts. Born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988, in Saint Michael, Barbados, she exhibited a certain star quality as a young child, often winning beauty and talent contests.

He asked Rihanna to perform whatever song that came to mind for her. Rogers was obviously suprised on what great talent Rihanna had. Immediately, both Rogers and Rihanna made demos containing close to twelve tracks including the 2005 smash hit Pon De Replay and mailed the demos out to various recording comanies including Def Jam Recordings where Rihanna would eventually be signed onto.
