Like most days around here, today has been busy! I've managed to finish canning up sweet potatoes (a total of 21 quarts) and get a few things done, but I've still got quite a bit left to do this afternoon. We'll be decorating the tree tonight :) And while we decorate, we'll enjoy some hot chocolate or eggnog and some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, made this morning to celebrate National Cookie Day! The recipe I used has been around a long time. I've always referred to them as Miracle Cookies, but I've heard them called other things, too. Here's the recipe I used.
Miracle Cookies
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
Measure your sugar and put into a bowl. Crack in your egg. Mix the sugar and egg together. No need to use a mixer, a spoon will do just fine. Measure out your peanut butter (use a clean spoon :) ) and add to your sugar mixture. Mix well. At this point you can add in chocolate chips (I use mini ones) if you wish. Use a teaspoon or a cookie scoop to measure out balls of dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Criss cross with a fork and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. That's it! Easy and delicious!
Take care!
Never heard of these before! I like that all the ingredients are stuff folks usually have on hand too!

They are super easy and good, too! My 14 year old likes to make them!
