   shared at Life as Mom where they are all talking about holidays and their favorite pie to serve. Each year my daughter presents her famous peanut butter pie at our family daughter. Oh my gosh, so good, while it is her recipe I do not have the recipe to share and thus selected this one. I love nutter butter cookies and think this one would be delicious as well.
