No Such Luck!

This blog hasn't had the best luck taking off. There are only a few people I know of that actually look at it and have thanked me for posting recipes. Not many people have sent me their recipes which results in me not having many to post. So IF you're one of those that does actually read the blog and uses it as a benefit that's great. But please, please, PLEASE send me your recipes. I know it doesn't seem like it's benefiting you to send me the recipes you already have, but if everyone did it, all of us would have more recipes to use. If every one of the 4 people that read the blog sent me a new recipe, then all of you would have 3 new recipes to try! Ha ha ha ha! There might be more than 4, but it doesn't seem that way! Anyway, this blog is going to take a dive unless I get more people to email me their recipes! SO DO IT! Take a moment, type up just one recipe, and send it. That would take 3 minutes tops! NOW GO! L0L!

Irresistible Peanut Butter Cookies

I had a recent complaint that every time I make cookies, I always make either Sugar or Chocolate chip. And while he LOVES any type of baking I do, my husband's favorite cookie is Peanut Butter. So I did him a favor tonight and baked him some Peanut Butter Cookies! He'll be so glad when he comes home from work!

3/4 cup JIF peanut butter
1/2 stick or 1/2 cup Butter flavor shortening (I use the pre-measured sticks and love them! So much easier than trying to measure it out!)
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 TBS milk
1 TBS vanilla
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups Flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt

*Heat oven to 375. Combine peanut butter, shortening, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add egg. Beat just until blended. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended. Drop my rounded measuring tablespoonfuls of dough 2-inches apart onto greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly in a crisscross pattern with tines of fork. Bake one baking sheet at a time for 7-8 minutes or until set and just beginning to brown. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to cooling racks to cool completely.

*I rolled the dough into a ball in my hands and then rolled them in sugar.

*Next time I would add a little more flour, they were a little flat, but still very tasty!

*Makes 3 dozen cookies
