Ok so thanks to all of you who helped me out for this stressful week but surprise i have my cousins coming down and i need to make peanut butter cookies but hopefully thats all i will need once again thanks!!!!!!! If you were wondering why I just don't look its because i want people that have tried it to tell me i don't want to go at it not knowing what it may look like

[tessa]

the perfect combo
this is my own recipe and it tastes great, very moreish

4oz softened butter (100gms)
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1and 1/2 cup plain flour(all purpose)
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
3 tablespoons cocoa
3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
1cup of roasted and still hot peanuts

Method:
cream butter , sugar and peanut butter together till light and fluffy, add egg and beat well. sift flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa together and add with chocolate chips and peanuts in to butter mix and mix well. Roll tablespoons of mix in to balls, place on greased baking trays, flatten with a floured fork and bake at 180degrees celcius or about 350 Farenheit for about 15 minutes..... if you want them a bit soft and chewy then just slightly undercook , if you want them crisper leave sitting on baking tray till cool

when cool just mix up some powdered sugar and cocoa together and gently sift a little over each cookie

I really did not mean it like that, but when i seen the recipe, it reminded me of the day i wanted to add choc to my PB and i got the third degree, so figured i would post a non choc, but have no fear, i will try the choc and PB recipe

The only me,

I’m a cookie person, love me some cookies. The only thing better than a cookie IMO is a sandwich cookie. Take either one of the PB cookie recipes here and fill with a PB filling and it’s even better. Don’t over fill as it might be too rich.

PB frosting filling:

½ cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups confectioner’s sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 TBS milk

Cream the PB and sugar. Add the vanilla. The milk is used to adjust consistency so you might not need all of it or you might need more.

from the way i was reading the recipe it looks like 2 different sets of measurements have been given , so you could make a full batch or a half batch , so i think it means 2 eggs for the full batch, or 1 egg for a half batch

[the_only_me]

ok thanks tessa

[the_only_me]

Tessa is right about the measurements!
I had to halve the original at one point and it was still saved as such.

Also the temp is 375 F to 180 C but it actually doesn't matter too much with the recipe as most ovens vary anyway
