Cookiejar Talk

If you like Butterfinger candy bars, here is a cookie to try. I have been making these cookies for more than 10 years, and everyone loves them. My daughter actually gave me this recipe when she was only 6 or 7. She received it at school from a mom that had made them for a special party or something. Here is the recipe for these cookies.

Ingredients:

• ½ c. butter
• ¾ c. sugar
• 2/3 c. brown sugar, packed
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 ¼ c. chunky peanut butter
• 1 ½ tsp. vanilla
• 1 c. flour
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 5 Butterfinger candy bars, chopped

The first step to make these cookies is to preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Next, get a large bowl and cream the butter with both sugars. Add the egg whites and beat well. After this is mixed together, add the peanut butter and vanilla and beat once again. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt and mix these together. Add this mixture slowly to the first mixture and finally add the chopped up candy bars.

Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 ½ inches. Place the balls on greased cookie sheets and bake for around 10 to 12 minutes. Be careful not to over bake them or they will get too hard. Let them cool for several minutes on the cookie sheets and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. These cookies are great for your family, or to bring to a special occasion. They taste wonderful, and they are great for people that like these candy bars.

I love peanut butter. In fact, probably at least half of the cookies I make on a regular basis use peanut butter as an ingredient. This is a bar cookie recipe that uses peanut butter, and these are absolutely delicious. Of course, they are also very easy to make and you most likely already have all of the ingredients on hand.

You will need these ingredients to make these wonderful bars, and you will need additional ingredients for the frosting:

• ¾ c. butter
• ½ c. sugar
• ½ c. brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/3 c. peanut butter
• ½ tsp. vanilla
• 1 c. flour
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 1 c. quick oats
• 1 c. chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 pan. Beat together the butter and both sugars. Next, add the egg, peanut butter and vanilla. Beat this really well before proceeding. After this is mixed well, add the flour, baking soda and quick oats. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes is up, sprinkle the chocolate chips on the top. After they have melted, carefully spread them with a knife.

When you are finished with this, begin preparing the frosting by mixing ½ c. powdered sugar, ¼ c. peanut butter and 3 tsp. of milk. Mix this together well and scoop it on top of the bars. Gently spread the frosting in a swirling type of motion. Let the bars cool completely before serving. The bars are especially tasty with a glass of cool milk.

When I was a child, my older sister and I used to make these cookies. They are easy to make and they taste great. They use common ingredients that you probably already have at home. They are quick to create and it is actually fun to make these cookies.

To make these cookies, here are the ingredients you will need:

• 4 T. cocoa
• 2 c. sugar
• 1 stick butter
• ½ c. milk
• 3 c. quick oats
• ½ c. peanut butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla

The first step is to mix the cocoa, sugar, butter and milk in a saucepan. I usually add the butter first and melt it before adding the other ingredients. Next, you must bring this mixture to a boil. Be sure to stir it often and boil it for about two minutes. Do not over boil it because it will result in cookies that are really hard. If you don’t boil it long enough, the cookies will be too soft.

Remove from heat, and add the oatmeal, peanut butter and vanilla. Mix this all together very well. Place waxed paper on cookie sheets and drop this mixture in spoonfuls on the waxed paper. Let it cool for a while. As it cools it will begin to harden. Once they are hard, remove them from the waxed paper and place them on a serving plate. You can eat them and enjoy them. They also taste great to eat while they are warm, but you will need a spoon or fork. These cookies are awesome cookies, and they are very simple to prepare.  

I love baking and I love cookies. This is a recipe I was given many years ago. There are three things that I love about this recipe. Of course the first thing is the taste. These cookies are fabulous. The second thing is that it makes a very large batch so it is perfect for get-togethers and things like that. The final thing is that they are very versatile. You can change the ingredients to create different tastes.

To make these cookies, you will need:

• 1 c. oil
• 1 c. butter, softened
• 1 c. white sugar
• 1 c. brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 T. milk
• 3 ½ c. flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• ½ c. coconut
• 1 c. crushed cornflakes
• 1 c. oatmeal
• 1 c. chopped walnuts
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Begin this recipe by choosing a large bowl. Add the oil, butter, white sugar, brown sugar, egg and milk. Beat these ingredients very well, until they are light and fluffy. In a small separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda. Add this to the first mixture and beat well. Finally, add the coconut, cornflakes, oatmeal, chopped nuts and vanilla. Mix really well and form into walnut-shaped balls. Place the balls on ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets and let them cool on wire racks.

To change these cookies, I often omit the coconut, cornflakes and nuts. Instead, I add 2 cups of oatmeal (instead of 1 cup) and a small bag of chocolate chips. You can be creative and add or subtract any of the last few ingredients to make your own favorite cookies!
