And, just about that time, your twelve year old saunters into the kitchen; grabs a pb&j sandwich and in between bites confesses that he "forgot" to tell you that you were supposed to prepare cookies for tonights PTA meeting.
Cookies? PTA meeting? You didn't know about either one.
So what do you do now? Panic? Sure, that is one possibility...but, why not try this simple, easy to make, low-fuss cookie recipe.
Chances are it won't require a trip to the grocery store, since it uses common ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry and fridge.
You can whip up these ooey, gooey, delicious treats in less than twenty minutes, from mixxing bowl to oven to mouth...and they
taste so good, you'll be the envy of all the other PTA moms!
Now, that's a recipe for success!
Peanut-buttery Snicker doodle Cookies--
You'll need:
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp. peanut butter softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine -- softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup Reece's peanut butter cups or snickers bars, or Hershey's chocolate bar (broken up into small pieces) ...any candy bar or mini candy bars you happen to have on hand.
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
This step is very important, as cookies will not cook evenly or properly if they do not start the baking process at 375 degrees.
Beat sugar, butter, peanut butter, shortening, vanilla and egg in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon.
Stir in flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in candy bar bits..
Blend again.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges aregolden brown (centers will be soft). Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.
Optional cookie icing for twelve cookies:
Double or triple this icing recipe depending on how many cookies you have baked.
6 tsp. peanut butter, warmed, any brand, i.e. Jif,
6 tsp. chocolate cake frosting,
any variety, any brand, i.e. Dunkin Hines, Betty Crocker, etc.
Blend in a bowl with spoon -- spoon one teaspoon dollap on top of each cookie.
Top with another warm cookie, and press gently together to form a cookie sandwich.
Serve warm with milk!
Convert this into a Christmas recipe, by:
Instead, frosting each cookie with vanilla icing, and topping with red or green sprinkles.
You may even use Christmas shaped cookie cutters, available from your online craft retailer, to shape cookies.
