Peanut Butter Cookies

This is THE best peanut butter cookie recipe. They are so soft and addicting!

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup Crisco
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda

Combine wet ingredients, sugar and eggs. Then add dry ingredients. Drop onto pan and flatten with crisscross pattern. Bake 375 for 6-7 minutes.

I sometimes add chocolate chips to this. Yum!

No Bake Cookies

I think I got this recipe from my college roommate Mandy. It has been my favorite no bake recipe since. I love the peanut butter addition :)

8-10 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
2 cups sugar (optional - 1 brown, 1 white)
2/3 c evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup peanut butter
3 cups oats

Mix cocoa and sugar together on stove on low heat. Stir in evaporated milk. Bring to boiling and boil for about 1 minute. Add butter, peanut butter and oats.

Once thoroughly mixed, spoon onto greased pan and freeze for best results.

I sometimes mix in some coconut as well.
