Day 326 (March 1st)--Cooking with Jackie

(This is the book where the recipe came from)

I am not much of a baker. When I usually make a cake, cupcakes or cookies it comes from a mix. Not today. Today I made Peanut Butter chocolate chunk cookies using a recipe from the back of an Amish Themed book. They turned out really well and are delicious! I WILL Be doing this new thing again. For those of you who are interested: here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

3/4 c margarine

1c white sugar

1 c brown sugar

1/2 peanut butter

2 eggs

2 tsp Vanilla extract

2 1/2 c flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt (optional)

1 8 oz candy bar, chopped

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Beat margarine, sugars and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in chocolate pieces. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand a few minutes before removing from cookie sheet. Makes 4 dozen cookies!
