No Excuses Peanut Butter Cookies
This has to be the worlds easierst cookie recipe - you have no excuse not to make them! Okay, well just the one of the life-threatening nut allergy kind, I'll let you off in that case! :) Ella, who will be four tomorrow, made these all by herself. All I did was crack the egg. A great recipe for the kids and deliciously light and tasty.
A word of warning. These do not work with Irish peanut butter, you HAVE to use American peanut butter! But don't fear, if you go down to Aldi you can buy some peanut butter made in the state of Georgia for half the price and ten times the taste of the so-called "American-style" stuff you get elsewhere. I've tried these with that stuff and they don't bake up. I'm not quite sure how this recipe works, but it does. I use crunchy, if you prefer, use smooth!
Ingredients:
Mix all ingredients together and drop one inch spoonfuls onto a cookie tray. I usually get 15-18 cookies. Dip a fork in sugar and press down on a cookie to flatten, repeat on the other side so you have intersecting fork marks. Repeat for each cookie.
Bake for 10-20 minutes. I don't know why, but the timing seems to vary every time I make these! They should be crisp around the edges, but slightly chewy in the middle. Enjoy!
