National Peanutbutter Cookie Day...

I heard about it on the radio. Baked a batch, inspired by the siren call of peanutbutter cookies.

Not entirely: I took the makings and recipe with me when I went to TN last weekend, and never got them made. After hearing on the radio about the 'official-ness' of today, I knew I needed to get crackin'. With such an important milestone event occurring, one should not allow it to pass
unacknowledged, right?

So I used the four ingredient recipe and made a batch. They are kinda small, and also kinda rich, which means, you can quickly discover you have eaten too many. A fun recipe to make with little people who love to help in the kitchen.. Because it has no eggs, safe for them to taste off their fingers.

P'nutbutter cookies with forkprints
1 can condensed milk (not evaporated)
3/4 cup peanutbutter
2 cups baking mix, like Pioneer or Bisquick
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix the milk and peanut butter (you might want to put in microwave a bit to make it easier to stir), add vanilla, then stir in baking mix. It will be stiff, but be sure you have stirred the baking mix in well.  Form into 1 inch balls, press lightly with tines of a fork on pan. No need to grease pans. Bake 8-10 min. (a bit longer if you are using insulated pans - 13 min.) Makes about 5 or 6 dozen if you don't eat so much uncooked you make yourself ill.
