by

I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend!  Today I’m going to spotlight Before She Dies by Mary Burton and share with you a Valentine’s recipe from her for Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies as well.  I’ve not yet had the pleasure of reading this series but have heard so many good things about it.  Some day I’m going to have a chance to read all these books I’d love to make time for.  LOL.  For now let’s see what the book is about and drool over the cookie recipe!  Be sure to check out the giveaway at the end of the post too!

 

About Before She Dies by Mary Burton

He Is Their Judge. . .

In death, they are purified. Holding his victims under water, he washes away their sins as they struggle for their last breath. Then he stakes their bodies to the ground, exposing them for what they really are. Witches, sent to tempt and to corrupt. . .

Jury. . .

No one knows about defense attorney Charlotte Wellington’s murdered sister, or about her childhood spent with the carnival that’s just arrived in town. For Charlotte, what’s past is past. But others don’t agree. And as a madman’s body count rises, she and Detective Daniel Rokov are drawn into a mission that’s become terrifyingly personal. . .

And Executioner

At last, she is within his reach. All his victims deserve their fate, but her guilt is greatest. And with every scream, he will make her see what it means to suffer and repent–before she dies. . .

It’s Love at First Bite!

Whether she’s keeping the romance alive between characters, choosing new victims for her romantic suspense novels, or baking up a storm in her Richmond, Virginia kitchen, New York Times bestselling author Mary Burton does nothing half-heartedly—and that includes whipping up her 2012 Valentine’s Day recipe, Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

1cup of sugar
1 cup of peanut butter
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup Craisens

● Mix sugar, peanut butter, baking powder, egg and vanilla.
● Add chocolate chips and Craisens.
● Form dough into balls then flatten.
● Garnish with chocolate bits or Craisens.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Let cool completely before serving.

 

“There is no better flavor combination than peanut butter and chocolate. Separately they are wonderful but together they are deadly delicious. Your sweetie will be completely delighted with these sinfully good Valentine’s Day cookies, which are a snap to make!”

Enjoy! Mary
