Peanut Butter Cookies

Easy peanut butter cookie recipe.

1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375F (190C) degrees. Mix all the ingredients together. Lightly grease your cookie pan so they won't stick. Then take a tablespoon of dough and put it on the cookie sheet. Fill your sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.

If you want your cookies to stay soft, as soon as you take them out of the oven put them in your freezer for about 3 mins (don't take off the pan till they come out of the freezer!!!!)

1/2 cup buttermilk
2 medium bananas, mashed, 1 cup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup confectioners powdered sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
Dash of salt

How to make it:

Spray or grease the bottom of a standard loaf pan (mine was 1 1/2 qts. capacity). Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl and using a mixer, beat together the sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Beat in the butter until smooth; beat in the buttermilk and mashed bananas.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon, if using. Using a rubber spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture just until incorporated. Do not overmix. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients together using a large fork or the bottom of a wire whisk until mixture resembles peas. Sprinkle the crumbles over the top of the batter.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until center tests done with a toothpick.

Salted Caramel Jello Shots

Salted Caramel Jello Shots

Salted Caramel Jello Shots (Makes 12 shots)

Plastic shot glasses (I buy these from Amazon)
1 envelope Knox gelatin
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2-3 drops yellow food coloring
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1 envelope Land o Lakes Caramel hot chocolate (Regular would do just fine if you can't find caramel. These come in individual packets and most grocery stores carry them)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butterscotch schnapps (For a stronger shot use caramel flavored vodka)

For a kid friendly, non-alcoholic version just use cold water instead of butterscotch schnapps or vodka.

1. Mix your 1/2 cup water with your envelope of caramel hot chocolate in a medium sized sauce pan. Whisk it to make sure all the chocolate is combined. Add the 1/2 cup of evaporated milk, whisk again.

2. Sprinkle your gelatin on top and let it sit a few minutes. Turn on low/medium heat and mix the gelatin until all is combined.

3. Add 1/4 cup sugar and simmer slightly until sugar is combined. Add your food coloring until you get the caramel color desired. I used two drops. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt. Pour in your 1/2 cup of butterscotch schnapps.

4. Pour caramel jello in shot glasses and let set for at least 2 hours. Top each shot with a pinch of sea salt before serving.

Pretzel Hugs

So easy too!

 

Pretzel Hugs

1 bag Hershey's kisses HUGS
1 lb bag pretzel squares
Parchment paper
Cookie sheet


Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place wax paper on cookie sheet. Place a single layer of pretzel squares onto the wax paper. Top each pretzel with one hug. Place in the oven for 2-3 minutes....YES just 2-3 minutes. You want the hug to be a little glossy, but not melted. If they melt, you will have a big mess! Remove from oven, let sit for 1-2 more minutes to let the hug soften a little more. Top each hug with another pretzel square. Place the pretzels in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to let cool and firm. You can let them cool at room temp but will take longer to do so. These are also good with any of the kisses....may try with the pumpkin spice flavored kisses next!

Carmelitas

Carmelitas

Carmelitas    (Good recipe for the Holidays)


32 caramel squares, unwrapped
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips


Combine caramels and cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until completely smooth; set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, and baking soda.

Pat half of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of an 8x8" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over crust. Pour caramel mixture over chocolate chips. Crumble remaining oatmeal mixture over caramel.

Return to oven and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.

*A stint in the fridge will help them cool off, if you're pinched for time. They shouldn't be served cold, but all of that molten caramel takes a long time to cool down. They should be stored and served at room temperature.

**If you want to use homemade or store-bought caramel sauce in place of the caramel/cream mixture, use 1 1/4 cups of sauce.

***To make a 9"x13" version, simply double the amounts.

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

(Makes 1 dozen brownies)


3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon water
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl combine sugar, softened butter, and water. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds or until butter is melted. Stir in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted. Stir in egg and vanilla extract, mix well. Add flour and baking soda, stir until combined. Allow the batter to cool to room temperature (doesn't take very long). Then, stir in 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Spoon batter evenly into Reynolds Staybrite muffin cups.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top is set and a toothpick inserted into centre comes out slightly wet. After brownies are out of the oven, wait for centres to fall. This will happen upon cooling. If not, then tap the centres with the back of a teaspoon to make a hole for the peanut butter.

Place peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds then stir. While brownies are still war spoon about a tablespoon full of peanut butter into the centre of each brownie. Top with remaining 1/3 cup of milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Cool completely in pan.
Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator. To reheat the brownies just pop ‘em in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
