Upcycle a Kraft Paper Store Bag

Need a last minute gift bag? Or a way to repurpose all those kraft paper store bags you may have collected/laying around? You can do so by using any magazines you have (or even newspaper, a great way to recycle!).

I made these for a friend who is infatuated with peanut butter cups. The cookie part of it is soft but holds together beautifully with the peanut butter cup stuffed inside. Sometimes I come up with a little bit of extra cookie dough, so I bake them into plain old peanut butter cookies, and they are crazy delicious, as well!
