Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1-1/4 c. flour
3/4 t. b. soda
1/2 t. b. powder
1/4 t. salt
1 c. peanut butter chips.
granulated sugar

heat oven to 375. Mix brown sugar, butter, PB, and egg. Add dry ingredients and chips.
shape dough into 1-1/2" balls. Dip top of balls in granulated sugar. place sugar side up on ungreased cookie sheet about 3 " apart. Bake 9 to 10 minutes until golden brown , cool 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheets.

Do not flatten tops or criss-cross with fork. these spread out and get those nice crackle tops. If you make the balls perfectly round these will look like professional bakery cookies. I leave out the chips and they are still awesome.

Even easier Peanut Butter cookies!!!

sccop 1 1/2 inch balls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Cook until the edges get brown. Cool and gobble them with milk!

Could you please post your recipe for the cream filled oatmeal cookies if you have one? My DH would love for me to make some. He has been asking for oatmeal cookies for the last two days and I have lost his favorite recipe. Thanks, Ann in TN

Chocolate chip! I really loved a recent recipe posted on the board.

No, you only use the yolks. The recipe calls for using 2 eggs but only the yolks are used. I guess I need to change that. It is the way I got the recipe but I can see it makes sense to just put egg yolks. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
You will really like these cookies. They are totally addictive.

I think I posted this one on June 25th but for those who might have missed it here it is again. It is an unusual cookie and very delicious for a chocolate chip cookie.
It is not your ordinary chocolate chip recipe. It really surprises people when they bite into them. They are from a bed and breakfast place that put them into a basket with a bottle of wine left in their customer's room for them at night. Called Sweet Dreams.

SWEET DREAM COOKIES

1 Cup Butter
1 ½ Cups Brown sugar
1 Large Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
¼ Cup Sour cream
2 ½ Cups Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking soda
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Ginger
1 -2 Cups Chocolate chips
1 Cup Nuts (optional)


Cream butter using electric mixer.
Beat in brown sugar, egg, and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger.
Blend into butter mixture.
Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
Refrigerate for 1 day to give the flavors time to blend.
Preheat oven to 375.
Make 1 1/2" balls aprox. and roll in powdered sugar.
Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart, they do spread some.
Bake aprox. 10 min. Under bake if anything, they turn out nicer if they are just barely brown on the edges.
Let cool and transfer to airtight container.

Note.
I most often just bake them after mixing them up and they still turn out very nice.
I use a medium sized scoop and just scoop and drop into the powdered sugar. Keeps my hands cleaner that way.

Everyone asks for the recipe for the chewy chocolate cookies - but they don't keep well. I freeze whatever we aren't going to use within the next hour or two. (They really do taste stale by the next day!) My kids always ate these right out of the freezer. The snickerdoodles are great, too.

The glazed lemon cookies that I posted the other day are quite good. When I brought them to the Quilt Guild meeting...all I had to bring home was the plate.

My favorite are soft oatmeal with chocolate chips. Just use your favorite soft oatmeal cookie recipe & delete the raisins & add chocolate chips instead. Store in an air-tight tin or plastic container to keep soft. Yummy!!!!!
