Homemade Cookies Day

October 1
Homemade cookies day.

Chocolate chip. Peanut butter. Oatmeal. Sugar. Gingerbread.

What do these all have in common?
They are all types of COOKIES.

All types of cookies are good, but fresh, warm, homemade cookies are the best!

I decided to make a kind I havent tried before, but everyone loved them.

WHAT YOU NEED:
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
40 mini chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped


1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.

3. Cream together the butter, sugars, and peanut butter until fluffy.

4. Beat in the egg, vanilla, and milk.

5. Add flour mixture; mix well.

6. Shape into 40 balls and place each into an ungreased muffin pan. (Mine made 39.)


7. Bake at 375 for about 8 minutes. (Mine was around 10 minutes.)

8. Remove from oven and immediately press in a mini peanut butter cup. (I froze mine for a little bit before, but I dont think it matters either way.)


9. Cool and carefully remove from pan.

10. ENJOY!!
