peanut butter cookies...

... for traveling.  Good and easy. I think the recipe has appeared here with a explanation that it is the easiest in the world, highly recommended for making with small children. There are no eggs involved, for those who are so particular, overly protective about the health and well being of youngsters you won't let them lick the batter from cake off the mixer beaters. Plus there is plenty of hand action involved when you have to take a clump of dough and roll it into a little ball to plop down on the baking sheet.

Cannot recall if it was originally published by the baking mix people or the Eagle Brand people, or maybe even peanut council - but that is a complete list of ingredients. I do not actually refer to the recipe card any more, just dump, stir and make little round clumps to smoosh with fork tines and bake for ten minutes. When I give them away, there is usually a dozen in the little zipper bag, as I explain if I had brought more, the recipient would have eaten more and been mad at me for giving.

I do sort of measure the baking mix, but the other stuff: a can of condensed milk and three big glops of peanut butter go in a glass bowl so it can be microwaved together to warm and make the peanut butter easier to stir into the milk. When it is smooth, add the two cups of Bisquick/Pioneer Mix, or whatever brand you prefer. It gets really stiff and hard to stir, but keep at it until all the flour is wet/incorporated into the liquid. Roll between your hands into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place on baking sheet and lightly press with fork to make little marks - this is essential for announcing to everyone who sees them that they are not something else like sugar cookies: When you see fork prints you know they are peanut butter.

How can you go wrong with just three ingredients? It makes about five dozen. I highly recommend you get them out of the house as soon as possible, so bag them up and give them away, or you will be mad at me for eating the whole recipe... can't say I did not warn you!
