Happy Thursday everyone!
Today is truly wonderful because of TWO things. . It’s National Peanut Butter Cookie Day!!!
AND
It’s my beautiful friend, Allie’s 1st year blog anniversary!!! Allie is the mastermind baker behind the beautiful blog, Baking A Moment. We met at last year at IFBC in Seattle and met up again recently at BlogHer Food in Miami. Allie, Jocelyn, Connie and Zainab (the other fabulous bloggers joining Allie’s giveaway today) are quickly become my blogging BFFs. We seriously text each other everyday.
Everyday. I’m not even kidding.
These ladies are fabulous and passionate about what they do.
Now, I need to get back to Allie here. . if you haven’t visited her beautiful blog, you need to. She is the baker extraordinaire and well, is a baking genius. I love her Simply Perfect recipe series where she shows you how to make, well, perfect cupcakes, blueberry muffins, Pate a Choux and the list goes on. . and her photos and recipes are always amazing.
Allie’s a mom just like me so I understand what she has to go through to maintain her beautiful blog and take care of a family. She thinks I’m Super Woman but I think she’s the one with the flowing red cape.
Oh, and since it’s National Peanut Butter Cookie day, I brought the peanut butter cookie sandwiches you see above. Click here for this fabulous recipe. Peanut butter lovers, this one will not disappoint.

Definitely checking out this cookie recipe – the only thing better than a PB cookie is TWO pb cookies! YUM! Happy blog anniversary to Allie! Such a great giveaway!
Hi Cate, if you’ve heard of Tom Douglas in Seattle . . this is his famous Nora Ephron cookie! 🙂 Because she ate it and loved it and gushed about it. . when he published his book, Dahlia Bakery, he named the cookie after her! It’s delicious!!!
Finding blogging besties is the best–texting every day is admirable! I can’t believe I didn’t realize today is national peanut butter cookie day, incidentally I was going to make a huge batch tonight regardless. Awesome share!
haha, thanks Ala! It’s crazy. . who knows who comes up with these National Food holidays. . but they are great, right? 🙂
I was just thinking about how blessed I am to know you. It wasn’t by chance that we ended up on the same flight. We were meant to be dear friends!
Those PB cookies look delicious!
These cookies look seriously amazing. I am totally pinning these!!
I adore a good peanut butter cookie. These look just heavenly. Thank you for sharing! And what a great giveaway too!
Wow super cool giveaway! And I’m totally going to check out Allie’s blog now… as well as these super awesome sounding cookies! YUM!
Mmmmm…I’m diggin’ those cookies, Alice. And I’m loving the lady love affair you’re having with Allie and these other incredible bloggers, all of whom I admire so much. You guys rock.
haha, thank you Nancy! You rock too, babe! love you!
Yay!! Cookies. I am in love!! With the cookies and well you know of our friendship 🙂 xoxo
thanks for sharing the PB cookie recipes, I love to bake and send cookies to our kids, they both live out of state now and they miss my baking the most.
I love finding out about these random national food days, so cool! I had no idea about pb cookie day either (is it international?! If not I am going to MAKE it international by baking up pb cookie goodness tonight!) but I am happy to celebrate right alongside you! I don’t know Allie but I am heading over to Baking A Moment to celebrate right now… yay! xx
Hi Laura! oh Allie is a superstar and excellent baker and friend. . International Peanut Butter Cookie Day. . love it! 🙂 Thanks so much for your continued support and always commenting! 🙂
What an awesome giveaway! I love that you guys all came together to do this! And those cookie sandwiches look SO delicious! I am craving getting back to baking so I can make some.
I need to pop over to Allie’s blog and congratulate her!!! Your cookies look sensational…and I love that you all are giving away a coveted KA mixer!!!
OMG girl, these cookies look divine. I just want to stuff my face full of them. Lurvvveee PB, but PB doesn’t love me. Le sigh. Can have in small quantities though – totally not fair, but the best way I can get my PB fix.
Love Allie’s blog. She’s such a sweet lady. So thoughtful and kind, bless her. I haven’t had the pleasure in meeting her though being across that big ass pond. I’m uber jealous of your recent BlogHer gathering. *dreams* Someday, hopefully.
I absolutely LOVE Allie’s blog!!!!! It is soooo pretty and her food photos make me drool all over my screen EVERY SINGLE TIME! 😀 These cookie sandwiches are just sooooo cooool! I loveeeee PB and this is a PB bonanza!!!!
