Let's Bake!: A Two-Fer today!!

I am posting two recipes today. The first, Choclate Drops, is and easy one and great to make with the kiddos. In fact, My 11 year old makes these herself. This is one of my Granny's recipes. The second, Angel Cookies is one that my mom and I would make every Christmas. Enjoy

1 TBSP peanut butter
