Last week, we started a brand new tradition. In the spirit of the holiday season, I am sharing a few of my favorite seasonal recipes — with a Delysia twist of course. Nothing says the holiday season like a warm oven, the scent of fresh baked goods, and a full house of family and friends. Take my recipes to your kitchen and create some memories with your loved ones this year!
This week’s recipe – Peanut Butter Cookies. This is a family favorite and a cookie I’ve been making since childhood. Even during college, I would bake 10-20 dozen peanut butter cookies while procrastinating from studying for finals. When I launched Delysia Chocolatier, this beloved classic cookie became the inspiration for our Peanut Butter bark. Then we made the cookie even better – by adding pieces of our Peanut Butter bark to the cookie batter.
