Today it's going to be *Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies*, the recipe being from Epicurious.
Recipe
I have to put a good word in for my wonderful Kitchen Aid Mixer :).
(Thank you Great Aunt Claire!) I had always thought it would be easier to get a bowl out and use a hand-held mixer... but then I discovered why everyone loves a Kitchen Aid so much--- you don't have to stand there doing the work- it does it for you (pardon my slang but--- DUH....).
The ingredients were basic--- nothing fancy here :). Everything went smoothly... it just took quite a while to bake all the cookies- I have a very small oven and I can only get 8 cookies on my one and only baking sheet.
The cookies were described as being soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside. I discovered this to be true- when the cookies were fresh from the oven. Though, over time they ended up crunchy all the way through. I was hoping for a Peanut Butter Cookie that stayed gooey... Good thing Andrew will eat anytyhing that's made out of sugar and peanut butter :).
The end result:

Margaret? Hi! How are you? I stumbled on your blog through Brandy's Blog! So, did I read correctly that you are expecting? If so, congratulations! Things are going well with Jerry and I... he's in Iraq for the second time and I miss him dreadfully. If you wanna check out my xanga, go ahead. (I should really get a blogspot like everyone else!) It's www.xanga.com/jeroland. Blessings! Erin Roland
Those cookies sound (and look) yummy and I totally second the kitchenaid loving... I bought mine several years ago and absolutely love it.
You probably don't remember me... we took the same desktop class at Indy and saw each other who knows where else :-). Your blog is great - and you would make quite the happy homemaker - I'm so thrilled for you!

Margaret! You need to post more! It's not like your busy or anything *couple HUGE winks* But seriously, these recipes look delicious.
I found the BEST recipe for Peanut Butter cookies lately. The perfect amount of chewy and crunchy.
So how is he picky? I am thankful that Michael will eat everything but beets and liver. :-P
