Okay so those sugar cookies I was talking about turned out awful.. my own mistake LOL. I forgot to add the baking powder and salt (very essential!!). So I am having to ditch making the sugar cookies since I am headed to VA in a few hours to see family. I am opting instead on making the pin wheels and
PEANUT BUTTER PIE
1/2 cup peanut butter
12 oz cool whip
3 oz cream cheese, room temp
1 c sugar
mix cream cheese and sugar til smooth. Add peanut butter and beat. Mix in cool whip. Pour mixture into graham cracker crust and refridgerate for an hour. enjoy :)

What are you guys making? I'm going to include some of my favorites! They are absolutely easy, and you can be sure of that because I make them haha. I don't "do" difficult stuff.
PEANUT-BUTTER PINWHEELS (makes two large rolls)
1 pound confectioners sugar
jar of peanut butter, JIF is great
1 can fluffy, whipped white cake icing
In a medium bowl, alternate between pouring sugar and dipping out icing and stirring them together, it's easier than doing it all at once. Use the whole can of icing.. you know you have it mixed up to the right consistency when the mix is super stiff and not sticky to the touch at all. You wont be stirring so much as "mashing." Lay out wax paper or just flour a clean surface. Take half of the mix and roll out into a neat rectangle with even thickness all over. Spread peanut butter over the whole thing, using however much peanut butter suits your taste. Peel up one side of the roll and start rolling towards the other side. Repeat with the rest of the mix. Refridgerate the two rolls, and slice when cold enough.
CHESS BARS (I never have any left)
crust: 1 Box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter, melted
1 egg
topping: 4 c powdered sugar
3 eggs
8 oz block cream cheese, room temp
Mix the crust by hand, pat into buttered cake pan. Set aside.
Mix the topping with a hand mixer until creamy. Pour over crust.
Bake at 325F for 40-45 min. It wont be like a cake, so the toothpick test wont work. Just dont peek in on it too much, let the oven do its job haha. The topping will crack and fall in the middle and its supposed to do that. Yum.
SUGAR COOKIES- I havent tried this yet but am going to tomorrow night.
This recipe has been voted 4 1/2 stars by almost 2000 people so it must be good!
