I’ve always loved sour cream and onion. In fact, I was known for it as a kid. I was that weirdo who would eat chopped onions on my chocolate ice cream. I kid you not! Now that I’m an adult though, I’m a little more…refined with my tastes, especially when it comes to onions.

I always have a good ol’ jar of PB on hand. Recently, I was craving cookies but didn’t have very much in my cupboard.
