Ohh, Yummy! One of my favorite things is the Foodnetwork!! I love to watch and even every once and a while try the recipes that I find. Today I made what I think is a pretty yummy cookie. If you like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups you might really like this cookie. This is a soft peanut butter cookie recipe with homemade chocolate frosting. I think I even like the way I decorated my cookie (I probably learned it from Ina - The Barefoot Contessa). I made a Skookie (skillet cookie) with the leftover dough that I had. My friend Natalie posted her favorite cookie recipe so I will post the new cookie I tried (By the way, my kids love it - it's Madison's new favorite cookie).
Irresistible Jif Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
3/4 cup extra crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
3 Tbls. milk
1 Tbls. vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1. Heat oven to 375°F. Place sheets of foil on countertop for cooling cookies.
2. Combine peanut butter, shortening, light brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add egg. Beat just until blended.
3. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until blended. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2" apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Flatten slightly in crisscross pattern with tines of fork. (I dip mine in sugar so they won't stick)
4. Bake at 375°F for 7-8 minutes, or until set and just beginning to brown.
Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet.
Remove cookies to foil to cool completely.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies
INGREDIENTS
2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa, and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth, then gradually beat in sugar mixture alternately with evaporated milk. Blend in vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. If necessary, adjust consistency with more milk or sugar.
