More Twinkle Manufacturing!

I always forget how much Rowdy dislikes my favorite chocolate chip cookies.  That’s because they are so scrumdily-umtious (I know you’ve been wondering how to spell that, don’t forget the hyphen!) that there’s just no way anyone could not like them!

But Rowdy doesn’t.  I think he needs a total tastebud transplant, but instead, I just make him the:

Peanut Butter Cookies from Heaven!!!

Cream together:

• 2 cups butter, slightly softened
• 2 cups peanut butter, one whole small jar

Add one at a time:

• 3 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 Tablespoon baking soda
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 3½ cups unbleached white flour
• 12 oz package of semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, but Rowdy thinks this is standard.)

Mix it well.  Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat your oven to 350°.

Make ping-pong size balls and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Use a fork dipped in sugar (once after each impression) to make the homey criss-cross pattern and to flatten the cookies a little, not too much though.

Or you can dip the bottom of a drinking glass into the sugar and use that to flatten out the cookie, but then it doesn’t have the nostalgic, memory-making, criss-cross pattern that is just so lovely.

Just use the fork method, for cryin’ out loud!

Now bake ‘em for about 10 minutes @ 350°.  Let ‘em cool a bit on the tray, these are tender, wonderful, delicious cookies.

By the way, they’re Hubs’ favorite.  Won’t he be happy when he gets home tonight!
