Cookie Time and no not girl scout cookies


Yup them, about 3 dozen...might need to make more?


A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away...well it might seem that way to the hubby. Oh yeah where was I...A little boy bought a cookie cookbook for him to learn to make cookies with her. This was no ordinary cookie cookbook, no sir it wasn't. This is the old 1980's something cookie cookbook from Betty crocker. Yes girls and boys this cookbook does exist and I have copy.

                                Yup this copy of lovely yummy goodness is in my house!

Ok I make a couple of the cookies out of it every year and this year I made peanut butter cookies. So I will repost the recipe. Thank Betty Crocker or whom ever for having it published.

Peanut Butter Cookies

1/2 C. granulated (white) sugar
1/2 C. packed brown sugar ( I used light)
1/4 C. butter or margarine, softened
1/4 C. shortening
1/2 C. -1 C. peanut butter
1 egg
1 1/4 C. all purpose flour (not self-rising)
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix the first 6 ingredients together. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Shape into 1 1/4 in. balls or use the mini cookie scoop. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped in flour. Bake until light brown, about 9-10 min. Cool 2 min. Remove from cookie sheet.
