Notes: Excitement consumes my mind as I reminisce on the first time I baked Peanut Butter Cookies with my Nana. When I first baked peanut butter cookies I got a feeling of satisfaction when I saw how they came out. I remember almost putting them into the piping hot oven when my Nana told me that I forgot an essential step! I was confused until I saw her use a fork to create the crisscross design on the top of the cookies. As the aroma and warmth of the cookies filled the kitchen, I sat inpatient waiting to take the first bite of the cookies. From the first time they enter my mouth to the last bite, I'm in a state of complete relaxation. No matter what the weather is or what mood I am in when I eat them, my spirits are lifted and everything is improved by the scrumptious taste of Peanut Butter Cookies.
