I've made these cookies several times now. My stepsons cooked 3 dozen on their own. They were so proud that they took a doz. back home with them.

Trust me, they are umm umm delicious :thumbsup: I'm a diabetic, so I took the same recipe and supplemented the sugar with the exact same amount of Splenda, and to my surprise they were just as tasty :D

Hats off to the one who thought up this easy and cheap way to enjoy peanut butter. It's a great way to gather the family together for some quality time. :D

They are so delicious, aren't they? I got this recipe from my friend who is a truly excellent cook... I knew if she recommends them, they would be wonderful. I make them all the time... my lil guys love them!

The White House's Executive Chef Shares His Holiday Cookie Recipe
Dec. 5, 2004 — Thaddeus DuBois, executive pastry chef for the White House gave "Good Morning America's" weekend edition one of his favorite holiday recipes.

White House Soft Rolled Christmas Sugar Cookies:
Makes about 2-3 dozen cookies (depending on size of cutters)
Cookie Dough Ingredients
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of butter, soft, unsalted
2 large eggs
1 tsp. of vanilla
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 tsp. of salt
2 tsp. of baking powder

Icing Ingredients
2 egg whites (from large eggs)
4-6 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. lemon juice
liquid food color, as desired

Method — Cookie Dough:

1. Combine sugar and butter and beat until light and fluffy, about 8-10 minutes with an electric mixer and paddle attachment.

2. Add eggs and vanilla and blend.

3. Sift flour, salt and baking powder and add. Mix until a dough forms.

4. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for at least two hours or overnight before using.

5. Roll on a lightly floured surface to 1/4" thick. Cut out desired Chirstmas shapes like, bells, santas, snowmen, stars, candy canes and etc.

6. Place cookies on a baking tray that has been lined with baking paper or grease baking tray if no paper is avaliable.

7. Baking: Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Baking times depend on the oven. Rotate baking tray halfway through the baking time. Do not over-bake or cookies will get too hard. These cookies should be soft.

8. Let cookies cool completely before decorating.

Method — Icing:

1. Place egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer.

2. Sift powdered sugar. Gradually add sugar as mixer is running on low speed. May require a little more or less sugar depending on size of egg whites used.

3. Add lemon juice and vanilla and blend well.

4. Divide icing into small bowls and color as desired.

5. Decorate cookies as you wish.

Note: For a quick way to decorate cookies without using the icing, brush cookies with a slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle cookies with colored sugar(s) before baking.

****shying away from baking Sugar Cookies****

The last batch I made ended up as hard flour pucks!!!! I don't trust my baking abilities!!
I will just buy them!!

I love maple syrup as I am sure most people do - I haven't tried these yet but they look so easy! :)
Title: Maple Nut Drops
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 36 servings

2/3 c Maple syrup
1 1/3 c Sweetened condensed milk
2 c Graham cracker crumbs
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Chopped nuts

Recipe by: Mary M McBride's Encyclopedia of Cooking
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease cookie sheets. Cook maple syrup
and condensed milk in a heavy pan for about 3 minutes, until thickened. Be
careful not to scorch. Cool slightly and add graham cracker crumbs, vanilla
extract and chopped nuts. Drop from teaspoon onto prepared pans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from pan at once. Cookies will be hard if overbaked.
Store in jar to soften. Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, as the
results will not be the same with evaporated milk.
(From RecipeSource)

I have never heard of such a thing. I will have to try it!!

JJT

1 c peanut butter
1 c sugar
1 egg


Mix the ingredients together and blend well with a spoon. Roll into ball and flatten with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes on 325 degrees.

jeepers, are they really that easy??? :eek: think i'll give it a try! thx for sharing! -Aimee

yummy I will try that tonight just bought a new jar of peanut butter see I stay on peanut butter and jelly samiches :)

Oh my goodness, and all along I have been using all these ingriedents, flour, sugar, vanilla, egg, butter, peanut butter, etc: etc: Thanx for this more simpler recipe. I used to hate making PB cookies because of all of the stuff I needed, and all the mixing. And my kids love PB cookies. I can't wait to use this recipe. Thanx :thumbsup: :) :p

Here's another easy recipe:

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups Bisquick
Granulated sugar

Beat sweetened condensed milk, egg, peanut butter & vanilla in large mixing bowl until smooth. Add biscuit mix. Mix well. Chill minimum 1 hr.
Pre-heat oven to 350 deg. Roll batter into 1-inch balls, then roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with fork. Bake 6 to 8 minutes--cookies should only be lightly browned. (I never bake them longer than 8 minutes, or the bottoms burn.) Allow to cool.
**I like to add chocolate chips and/or peanut butter chips**

Honeymooner-that recipe sounds good too- I have never made cookies with Bisquick so I want to try this!

1 c peanut butter
1 c sugar
1 egg


Mix the ingredients together and blend well with a spoon. Roll into ball and flatten with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes on 325 degrees.
I posted a version of this when this forum first opened, except I also add 1 tsp. of vanilla. Lots of PTO'ers made them and loved them!!

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES
1 stick butter
3 tbsp. cocoa
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1/3 c. peanut butter
3 c. quick cooking oatmeal

Mix and boil hard for 1 minute. Remove from heat, then add peanut butter and quick cooking oatmeal.
Mix well and drop with a spoon onto wax paper or foil.
To make Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies: Leave out the chocolate and double the peanut butter.

These are my favorite---sometimes I add pecans!!

ONE

danielle- they sound really good - I have never had chocolate oatmeal cookies so I will try these. Do you just let them 'set' on the foil at room temp. or do you put them in the fridge?

Either way. I usually stick 'em in the fridge.

My Mom used to make these a lot when we were growing up. :D

When I make them I put them on wax paper--so they dont stick. Just sit them on the counter and they will harden. YUMMY!!!

One of my girlfriends uses a very similar recipe but where you used crushed cornflakes, she uses crushed Lay's potato chips...she calls them Potato Chip Cookies:) ...of course.

Chips Galore Cookies
Serving Size : 108

1 cup butter or margarine -- softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups vanilla or white chips
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time,beatingwell after each addition. Beat in almond extract. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture.Combine chips and nuts. Stir into dough. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.

Drop by tablespoonfuls 2" apart onto greased baking sheets.Bake at 325º for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wireracks to cool.

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups butter
1 1/4 cups cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla -- optional
1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
Filling
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
4 small green apples
3/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon flour
3 teaspoons apple syrup

Grate or *finely* dice apples and mix them thoroughly with the
lemon juice, cinnamon, flour, and lemon zest. Set aside in refrigerator.

Stir butter and sugar together over low heat till the mixture melts
together and bubbles thoroughly; you want a light caramel.
Remove from heat and stir in apple syrup and
the refrigerated apple mixture.

Cool the filling a bit before using.

Apple syrup: Reduce 1 cup apple juice or cider (cider is preferable)
to 2 to 3 tbsp of liquid over
low heat. Watch it carefully, lest it burn. Apple brandy can be
substituted, but the amount of sugar
has to be increased to 1 cup less 2 tablespoons, maybe a bit more if
the apples are very tart.
Assembly:
Roll the dough thick (1/6 to 1/4 inch) and go scantily on the filling.
This filling may well make a double recipe of cookies relative to this crust.
You can assemble these either like pierogi, in circles of dough that are
folded over filling and sealed, or like ravioli, by laying one sheet of
dough over another and sealing them.

Once assembled, bake these at 350 degrees until golden brown and
pastry-set.

That took 10 minutes for 2-inch-long ones.

I found a link to their website but they have a different recipe. It looks just as good as this one though. It is for their signature Chocolate Chip Cookie. http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/service/nm_cookie_recipe.jhtml

You really can. It is kind of like Kettle Korn, where you get a bit of salty right along with the sweet.

I can't get no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies right. Evrytime I make them they turn out yummy...but don't ever set! Help!

Oh my those are my fave! My family has made them for years and now I do.We call them "Cookie Quickies". My Mom's always turn out better then mine though,her's are perfect!!!! Let me ask her tonight what she uses/how she does it and I'll post again

are you using margarine thats got oil in it???

Is this the recipe you use?

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons cocoa
4 ounces butter (1 stick)
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats

Combine sugar, milk, cocoa, and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, peanut butter

Add oatmeal and stir to blend thoroughly. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Makes about 4 dozen no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies.

Mine is similar but doesn't call for peanut butter and also says to use real milk not evaporated. I am using Stater Bros Brand soft spread with 48% vegetable oil, whatever that means. So am I using the wrong butter?

It probably is the butter.... try using regular margarine like Parkay, etc.
