The comical bit is that me and my college roomie used to say this to each other when we were at a party that we found to be dull. We would either whisper it in each others ear as we walked past or we’d mouth it to each other across the room and on to the next one we’d go. That’s what “peanut butter jelly time” meant then.
Today, for the 26 year old me (for those of you who wanted to know, LOL), her ears perk up because it means cookies.
I’ll be 27 next month…wasn’t I just in college? :/ Ah, I digress…

It’s not just kids that would love coming home to these, Angie! Unfortunately I have zero capability to bake here in Korea (only a 2 hob stove, no oven!) so I’m gonna have to save making these (or attempting to) until I’m back in the UK.
Hell yeah! =D

Me too! LOL
Awesome cookies! I know, time goes by too fast these days. I can’t believe I’m in my thirties already.

It’s crazy how fast it goes!
I still remember when I was 27… And I feel like from that time to now (35) went by so quick. Scary quick. I don’t recall my late 20s and early 30s. I think I was busy with the baby/toddler stages for my kids… I miss being young! LOL.
These cookies look delicious! I can eat a lot of them happily… with my favorite tea!
