Almond Butter Cookies

Do you want the best tasting "peanut" butter cookies around?
 

 Try this recipe...the cookies were gone in like two days.

And that was holding everyone back.

The photos really makes me want to make a batch!! Excellent job.

I am emailing you to see if you are still interested in being a CT for a designer.... I saw your post over at DigiShopTalk.

I am a new designer. I am selling at DigiSisters Online store that just opened (store is 50% off right now). My website is scrapnN2Nspire.com. I am new to designer but not to scrapbooking.

I am looking for a CT that will create 1 - 2 LO's per kit or package, plus posting them into 2 galleries plus one open gallery of choice. And would like to talk about turning them into QP's if possible.

I also homeschool my daughter, age 15.

Email me if you are interested: admin@ scrapn2nspire.com

Thanks for you time!!
