This is serious business
Ernie and I both agreed that cookies would be a wonderful thing to have on hand when Nana and Grandpa J arrived, and she even agreed to dig out all her M&Ms from the Halloween stash to help on the occasion.
This is my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe- the honey make them soft and chewy, and the oats lend a bit of body. I couldn't really tell you where this recipe came from- my copy of the recipe is a printout of an e-mail my mother-in-law received from her friend. But it's sure yummy! Plus, it's a good way to use up Halloween candy.
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (you might need extra)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats.
Cream together first six ingredients, then beat in eggs one at a time. Combine dry ingredients, then stir into the wet mixture. (I just throw them straight into the bowl, with the candies, but you don't have to be a slacker like me. Plus, the candies got a little crunched in my mixer. I don't mind.) If the dough looks too sticky, add a little more flour.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or just until light brown.
Makes about 48 cookies.
