...would be the classification for peanut butter if you were to ask the person I live with here. He has been saying (with great authority) that pb is the 'perfect food'. I can't say whether that statement is a quote, or just a very strongly held opinion. But if you hear anything often enough, you learn to not argue with someone who has just made a statement he believes to be a documented, researched, proven fact.
I likely shared the recipe for these cookies the last time I made them... which I suspect would be about a year ago. It is so easy, and so good to be so easy, I have made them again. Twice. Once yesterday and again this morning, to put some in the mail to a couple of people I won't see until next year, but wanted to send a little 'thinking of you' gift.
And: the other good, wonderful thing about this recipe is that you can let little people help roll them into balls, to drop on the baking sheet. Or give a fork to press lightly to make the all-important 'fork prints' (otherwise they are not complete peanut butter cookies!) If more should end up in their mouths than on the pan, they will likely have some elimination problems for a day or so, but otherwise will not make them ill as some people think eating uncooked dough or cake batter will do.
What could be easier than a recipe with four ingredients, especially when one is a dollop of vanilla?
Peanut Butter Cookies with fork prints
1 can condensed milk (not evaporated)
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 cups baking mix (Bisquick, Pioneer, etc.)
1 tsp. vanilla
Put milk and pb in a large bowl, put in micro. for one min. to make it easier to stir. Add vanilla, stir well, add baking mix, stir well. Form into 1 inch balls, place on baking sheet, press lightly with fork tines. Bake 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes about 60'ish yummy cookies if you don't eat half of them before they go in the oven.
