In honor of Mickey Mouse’s birthday today, I’m sharing a recipe he would endorse. If you like peanut butter cookies, you’ll definitely like these. Â
Mickey is 90 years old today. Wow, can you believe that?
They’re celebrating this weekend at the Magic Kingdom, where guests can take part in the fun with limited-time entertainment, specialty food and beverage options, new merchandise, and more. What fun it would be to be there right now. 😎 (Especially given our current weather!!)
Mickey and Minnie even have new outfits to celebrate.
So, whip up a batch of these cookies today and celebrate like you were right there with them. Wish I could be.
