Peanut Butter Cookies
Is it just me or does everyone have that "thank goodness" food that they look forward to? It could be a thank goodness that's over with or thank goodness I saved room for this. Lately I've been in my 'thank goodness it's summer' phase where I've been preparing as many meals with fruit as I can get away with. The other day my husband was having one of those days, you know - when everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Since I was home that day and I knew it was a thank-goodness-this-day-is-fi nally-over day I threw his favorite food, peanut butter cookies.
I've never been much of a peanut butter fan, I think it may have something to do with watching my younger brother eat it by the spoonful when we were young...ick. Or it could have something to do with its oily heavy goo of an existence...either way, it's not often used in my kitchen. When my husband found these cookies on the Betty Crocker website he fell in love, he had to have them (literally that day, not kidding). So I toughened up and bought a jar of Skippy. I was surprised at just how simple this dough is to whip together, even when I ignored the specific instruction to "cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm" (ok, side confession here, I hate doughs that need to be chilled and I will avoid this step if at all humanly possible).
Even though it requires using the oven, these adorable little nibbles are worth baking, even on hot summer afternoons. They are sweet and simple and not too overpowering (plus they're just so cute!). I usually just use a tablespoon to measure out the normal sized cookies, but for my little girl I use teaspoons and they turn out perfectly sized for a quick snack. Enjoy this easy classic cookie recipe.
