Super Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!


Ok now first off I have to say that this is not MY recipe. It is one I found on pinterest. It is by far my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe I have tried. The cookie dough doesn’t stay firm enough to press in the fork marks.. BUT they spread out and get huge and they are still nice and chewy without being gooey. I found the original recipe here http://www.momtastic.com/cooking-recipes/dessert/164457-classic-peanut-butter-cookies
Now.. on this website it looks like she was able to get the fork marks.. so I am not sure what I am doing that is so different.. maybe it is that I just dump all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time and don’t do dry and wet separate at first.. but oh well… this is how I do it :)
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda or maybe a tini bit more… which might be why mine spread out more
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup softened butter (I do the “no no" and slightly soften in the microwave just until its a little tender but not melty)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup of creamy or crunchy peanut butter. I like crunchy.. and my son actually likes it too even though it has the chunks of peanuts in them.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
And as far as “instructions" go I dump all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and just mix it up! The oven needs to be preheated to 350°.. so you might want to go ahead and do that. 
Then just put some blops (my own fancy word) of the cookie dough on a cookie sheet and keep them spaced at least an inch and a half apart because the “blops" double in size because of how much they spread. I only put 6 cookies on a cookie sheet because when I tried more it kinda spilled over the edge.
Once you have your cookie dough on the cookie sheet place in the oven and cook for about 12 minutes or until they are golden brown. They might still look a tini bit puffy when you take them out of the oven but that is ok. Once they start to cook they flatten out. And with these cookies you definitely want to wait until they have cooled a little bit to put them on a wire rack or wax paper.. just so they don’t split in half due to their size.
I love these because I usually already have all the ingredients to make them at home.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Well, its St. Patricks day... so I decided to try my hand at making corned beef and cabbage. I have never made it before but I was very very pleasently surprised with how it turned out. Corned beef is one of my husbands absolute favorite foods, and he says the way I cooked it was the best he has ever had. I also liked it, especially for my first time ever eating it. Here is how its done! Ingredients: Package of corned beef (you can get it at Walmart, Harmons, Smiths, most grocery stores) Salt Water 1 head of cabbage Instructions: (Now to make your own corned beef from scratch it literally takes 7-10 days to cure.. so that is why I (and most people) buy it packaged.) Take your corned beef and trim off a little bit of the fat on top. Me and my husband both have texture issues.. and it didn't seem to affect how moist the meat was. And honestly you can skip this step if it seems like too much of a pain, all the fat dissolved off anyways. Take a rack (I used a co...

Meaty Deep Dish Pizza

Tonight I was thinking PIZZA! Its the weekend, me and my husband had some episodes of Master Chef to catch up on.. so whats better than pizza?! As you can see in this picture.. there was some dough hanging over the edges.. I cut it off. This is what it looked like cut off so I decided to fold it down so the pie would look prettier. Ready for the oven! All popped out of the pan and ready for devouring.  Sooooooooooo good! I was worried that it was going to be soggy once I cut into it but that liquid was the only bit that was in there.. it was not soggy at all I promise.. it was amazing. I had some spring form pans that I hadn't used yet, and thought it would be a great recipe to test them out with. So... lets get to the good stuff shall we? ☺ Ingredients for Dough: 1 (.25 oz package) of active dry yeast 1 tsp white sugar 1 cup warm water  2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1-2 tsp Ital...
