Peanut Butter Cookies

These are an all-time favorite of mine! This is actually my mothers recipe that she's been using for at least 25 years. I'm excited for this!


Peanut Butter Cookies


Ingredients:
  • 3/4 C of store brand peanut butter (If you prefer to use Jif by all means go ahead. My mother and I, however, both agree that Jif, or any name brand peanut butter such as Peter Pan, all have a lot of oil and it makes for an oily cookie once you add your butter. Speaking of butter...)
  • 1/2 C of butter (1 stick), at room temp.
  • 1 1/4 C firmly packed light brown sugar (When I say firmly packed, I mean it should hold shape well after you've beat the measuring cup to get it out)
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 3/4 C all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
Directions:
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. 
  2. Mix your peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla. Beat on medium. 
  3. Add egg. Beat until barely blended. 
  4. Combine your flour, salt and baking soda in a separate bowl. (Here's a quick baking tip, ALWAYS mix your wet ingredients separate from your flour, salt and baking soda/powder)
  5. Combine your flour mixture to your sugar and peanut butter mixture- SLOWLY. 
  6. Again, mix until barely blended. 
  7. Drop them by spoonful's (or roll them into small balls) and place on a LIGHTLY greased baking sheet.
  8. Flatten them slightly with a fork creating a cross-hatched design on the top. 
  9. Sprinkle with sugar if you'd like.
  10. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes. 


Seriously guys. I can't wait for y'all to try these! I know everyone has had a peanut butter cookie and everyone has their own peanut butter cookie recipe but THIS is THE peanut butter cookie recipe. 'Nuff said.

Until next time

Chicken Tagine

:In the previous post I mentioned making this a traveling food blog and this is another recipe that backs up the fact that I should probably do that. Tagine, or tajine, is a North African dish. It's namesake is the pot in which it's cooked in. However, if that were the entire truth in this case it would be called like "Dutch Oven Chicken Legs" and that doesn't sound nearly as cool. Chicken Tagine with Couscous Ingredients: Tagine: 4 chicken legs salt and pepper, as needed 3 TBSP olive oil 3 large yellow onions, sliced 2 TBSP ground coriander 1 tsp black (or white) ground pepper 2 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp ground turmeric (not going to lie to you, if you've never worked with turmeric just know that it stains EVERYTHING!) 1 1/2 C chicken stock 1 preserved lemon, sliced(the instructions and ingredients for this will be listed next) 1 TBSP finely chopped parsley (for garnish, I used green onion because it's my favorite thing ev...

Garlic Knots

I LOVE making bread. Any and all kinds of breads. I started making breads the artisan way before using a stand mixer because A: I didn't have stand mixer and 2: I just wanted to be able to say that I can make bread from scratch by hand. So without further adieu... Garlic Knots Ingredients: garlic- about like maybe 3 cloves...? (vampire repellent) parsley (amateur chefs go to garnish) 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt (or just garlic powder and salt) 1 1/2 tsp sugar 1 stick of butter 1 1/2 C water (warm or hot. As long as it's not cold. The heat helps the yeast to activate) 1 pkg yeast  3 3/4 C bread flour 2 tsp salt 2 2/3 tbsp Olive Oil 1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese Directions: Add flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix. Add warm water and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Beat until dough forms ball. Kneed. Grease a large bowl with remaining olive oil. Place dough in bowl and cover. Let rise for 90 min or until doubled. (Or however long. Technically it...

Raspberry Chipotle Salmon

This is a dish I made for a contest my school was holding. We had to use a Raspberry Chipotle sauce from Fischer and Weiser. I made Top 10 finalists with this dish! I served it with asparagus and mashed potatoes and I'll give the recipe/ingredients for that too. Raspberry Chipotle Glazed Grilled Salmon Ingredients: Salmon filets (however many you require) a bundle of asparagus (or two) potatoes (for mashing) Fischer and Weiser Raspberry Chipotle sauce 3 cloves garlic-chopped or g lemon-zested and juiced 1 C any kind of fruity wine (I used Arbor Mist Mango and Strawberry) 3 TBSP butter (plus more for your potatoes) green onions or chives cream or milk  2 TBSP vegetable oil salt and pepper to taste Directions:   (These steps aren't necessarily in order. You'll want to reorder them because you don't want one side being colder than the rest. Time management and all.) Starting with the potatoes you're going to want to peel them and wash t...
