Quick and easy Peanut Butter Blossoms

Some of you may recognize the cookie part to be the same as these peanut butter cookies. However this recipe was sent to me from my Aunt and has a little twist from the other cookie. I made mine a little bigger so only got 27 cookies. Easy and so fun. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
1 cup granulated sugar.
1 cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky
1 bag Hershey Kisses

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 350
(Unwrap enough kisses for expected number of cookies.)

Mix the sugar into the beaten egg. Mix well to dissolve sugar. Fold in
peanut butter.
Egg mixture consistency is moist and sticky but will dry in folding process.

Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Remove from refrigerator and pull off small pieces of dough and roll into
marble size balls.
Place the peanut butter balls on dry cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately add kisses by pushing a kiss gently into
center of cookie.

Different Alterations
If using dark chocolate kisses, gently push into cookie and let stand if you
want them to hold their shape.
If you want them to puddle, and have just the tip, put into oven for 10
seconds.
Dark Chocolate melts quickly and will not stand up in oven heat.

If using milk chocolate kisses, place a Kiss on top of each cookie.
Push them in slightly.  Place back in oven for 15 to 20 seconds so kiss
adheres to the cookie.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on wire rack, or after cooling
slightly, place on plate and place in refrigerator to cool and harden
chocolate.  Milk chocolate Hershey kisses will keep their shape.

(OR for plain PB cookies, Flatten unbaked dough with criss cross pattern
with fork dipped repeatedly into small cup of granulated sugar While on
cookie sheet and before baking)

Chocolate chip cookie dough and fudge!

So my dear friend Coree posted this on facebook and it looks so good I wanted to make sure that I could find it and make it for Christmas. Hopefully she doesn't mind that I have posted this. If she does I will remove it but I am hoping that she doesn't because seriously look at it, that looks GOOD. So here is what she posted regarding it below.

Put them together and what do you get? Umm...Didn't I just tell you? Chocolate chip cookie dough fudge! DUH!!! It's REALLY yummy!!

P.S. The cookie "dough" is not the traditional cookie dough, it is altered to not have any raw ingredients. :P

Cookie dough:

1/3 cup butter, melted
...1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Mix the brown sugar with the butter until smooth. Add flour and salt and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Place batter in a small quart size ziploc, seal, and press the dough so it is flat in the ziploc. Place flat in the freezer for 10 minutes, or until firm. (It took mine about 20 minutes to be firm enough to cut into chunks and not have them mix like dough with the fudge.)

After dough is firm, cut into 1/2 inch pieces.

Fudge:

1 lbs. powdered sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened or whipped cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Cream together powdered sugar, cream cheese and vanilla. In a heavy saucepan over very low heat, melt chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Add melted chocolate to cream cheese mixture, beat until blended. Stir in chilled cookie dough pieces. Spread evenly in pan. Refrigerate until firm. Remove from pan and cut into squares.

Enjoy!!

Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

I actually made this recipe with Reese's pieces candy instead of the chocolate chips. They were way yummy. Plus my husband prefers them with Reese's Pieces since he is a Reese's fan. Remember to not cook longer than 10 minutes or they will be overcooked. Also make sure to leave them on the cookie sheet for 7 minutes or they will be undercooked. They taste great with different candies.


Ingredients:
3/4 cup Sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup melted butter
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 package chocolate chips

Directions:
Mix sugars, butter, and egg in a large bowl. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in Chocolate chips. Drop dough by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. No more than 10 minutes. Cookies will look soft. Leave on cookie sheet for 7 minutes.

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie

From: Misty Lindsey

1 cup shortening (I use butter flavored Crisco)

3/4 cup brown sugar

Cream these really well. I let my mixer beat them on med-high for probably close to 10 minutes. You want it to get really light in color and fluffy.

2 eggs
1/2 Tbls water
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal (optional)
Chocolate chips to taste and nuts if desired

Bake at 375 for about 12 minutes. Don't let them get brown. Allow to cool on the sheet. you can also freeze the dough balls to bake later.
