May Day Cookies

Happy May Day! I decided to relive my childhood by making May Day baskets for my team at work.  I remember when I was a kid, my mom and I would have the best time making these fun baskets.  Once completed, I would strategically go around to all of the neighbors, ring the doorbell and run a way.  The rule was, if you got caught – the person who found you was able to kiss you on the cheek.  You had to be sneaky, fast and ready to run.

I felt like baking something special for my baskets so I decided on Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chunk Cookies.  I found the recipe on How Sweet It Is. She always has the BEST cookie recipes.

And these include some of my favorite things:

Peanut Butter

Bananas

Chocolate Chunks (way better than chips if you ask me).

So, have a Happy May Day everyone! I hope you are excited for spring!
