National peanut butter day indeed! I just had a peanut butter and jelly sandwitch today! Your cookies look pretty good...like something your Mom would REALLY like! :)

Your pictures are too good! ..and don't you be saying otherwise. My first thought when I saw the photos was "did she really take those?" Your camera must have been hammered again. :)
