Very Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar`

1 egg

a splash of vanilla

Stir these ingredients together, put rounded tablespoons of dough on a cookie sheet, flatten with a fork, and bake at about 375 degrees for around 10-12 minutes. Let cool on the sheet longer than normal because the cookies will be fragile since they have no flour in them.

Don't use "natural" type peanut butter (the kind where the oil separates)

I'm allergic to peanut butter but I'm definately making them with soy butter.

I have heard of burning Buffalo Chips for heat but I have never heard of:

...............................Buffalo Chip Cookies........................

Amount..Measure...Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

........................For dough:

2......Cups......margarine -- Melted

2......Cups......packed brown sugar

2......Cups......granulated sugar

4.....................eggs -- beaten

2......Tbl sp.....vanilla

2......Cups......rolled oats

2......Cups......corn flakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a very large bowl, stir together

measure or ice cream scoop onto ungreased cookie sheets. Leave plenty of

room; cookies will spread. Bake about 12 minutes or until done. 4 to 5

dozen cookies.

I guess if you don't like them, you can still burn them for fuel.

[tekmantwo]

I'm just gonna have to try some of these!....I can hear myself stretching out just thinking about them......

My favorite so far is the one found under the lid on the Quaker Oatmeal box....Vanishing Cookies, or something like that...

only difference is I make them huge...like 8 or 10 inches across huge....only get 6 or 8 on a cookie sheet but mmmmmm, thems is good!!!hehehe...

[GrumpysWife]

They sound good Lynn but not too good for my waistline. I don't think I could just eat one.

[Mrs. Musky]

I agree with you, Vernalee...they sound scrumptious, but there must be a gazillion (at least) calories in each one!

The problem with recipes is that we in UK have different names for ingredients and ways of measuring ingredients, but here goes with one very old recipe that my Gran had in her sepia coloured 1930 Be-ro flour recipe book and is still in the recipe books today:

Melting Moments Makes 30 105 g (4 oz) margarine 75 g (3 oz) caster sugar ½ medium egg 1 x 5 ml spoon (1 tsp) vanilla essence 150 g (5 oz) Be-Ro Self Raising Flour (has raising agent already in it) oats or desiccated coconut glacé cherries quartered then halve the quarters to 1/8ths 1 Heat oven to 180ºC, 350ºF, Gas Mark 4. Grease two baking trays. 2 Cream the margarine and the sugar until very light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla essence. 3 Stir in the flour and mix well. 4 Roll walnut sized pieces of the mixture into balls and toss in rolled oats or desiccated coconut. 5 Place on baking trays, flatten slightly and place a small piece of cherry on each biscuit. Bake for 10-15 minutes. N.B. To help shape "ball" type biscuits, slightly dampen the hands. http://www.be-ro.com/f_insp.htm Used to make these to take along to our Tuesday Book Study for the 'after group' tea and association or for the teabreak after ministry.

Those look delicious. One question, serious, how do you cut an egg in half?

[retroHelen]

Break the egg in a cup. Blend the yolk and white with a fork and only use half the liquid volume. Use half in the cookies and the rest to coat pie pastry so it goes nice and gold when it bakes, or add it to egg tart/quiche recipes.

simple, Tilford, you use a knife----

after you boil it, of course......

[jeanigal2]

This recipe was sent to me, i promise it wasn't me.....lol It is a cookie recipe with a story behind it.

When decent people get screwed over, this is the result!

A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don't know already, is

a very expensive store; i.e., they sell your typical $8.00 T-shirt for

$50.00.

Let's let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY!

My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus

Cafe In Dallas, and we decided to have a small dessert. Because

both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the 'Neiman-

Marcus cookie.' It was so excellent that I asked if they would give

me the recipe, and the waitress said with a small frown, 'I'm afraid

not, but you can buy The Recipe.' Well, I asked how much, and

she responded, ' Only two fifty - it's a Great deal!' I agreed to that,

and told her to just add it to my Tab.

Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the Neiman-

Marcus Charge was $285.00! I looked again, and I remembered I

had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf.

As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said,

'Cookie Recipe-$250.00.' That was Outrageous! I called Neiman's

Accounting Department and told them the waitress said it was

'two fifty', which clearly does not mean 'two hundred and fifty

dollars' by any reasonable interpretation of the phrase.

Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my money

because, according to them, 'What the waitress told you is not our

problem. You have already seen the Recipe. We absolutely will not

refund your money at this point.' I explained to the Accounting

Department lady the criminal statutes which govern fraud in the State

of Texas I threatened to report them to the Better Business Bureau

and the Texas Attorney Generals office for engaging in fraud. I was

basically told, 'Do what you want. Don't bother thinking of how you

can get even, and don't bother trying to get any of your money Back.'

I just said, Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I'm going to have

$250 worth of fun. I told her that I was going to see to it that every

Cookie Lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a $250

cookie recipe From Neiman-Marcus...for free. She replied, 'I wish you

wouldn't do this.' I said, 'Well, perhaps you should have thought of

that before you ripped me off!' and slammed down the phone.

So here it is!

Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of.

I paid $250 for this, and I don't want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make

another penny off of this recipe!
