Pazookie!!!

After you ask what it is you have to try it. One of my favoritest desserts ever and it's so easy! This one isn't technically a recipe post but it's something so delicious that I had to share it with you all. :-) Bake a personal size amount of your favorite cookie dough in a small serving bowl that is oven proof (my friend has small metal bowls that we use). When you take it out of the oven, instantly place a few scoops of vanilla ice cream on top and voila! You have one of the yummiest desserts you've ever had. :-) Try it sometime and see if I'm right.  (You could use another flavor of ice cream but the cookie is enough flavor that vanilla compliments it perfectly. )


This recipe is courtesy of my friend, Julie. It is a family favorite they have been doing since they were children and Pazookie is what they always called it. 

No-Bake Cookies

Was asked to post this recipe a month or so ago and am finally getting around to it. This is one of those ridiculously easy recipes that is so yummy. It's a great, "I feel like some sweet really quick" recipe. Basic ingredients and comes together quickly. The hardest part is letting them sit long enough to set up! :-P
FYI, this recipe is another one that is courtesy of my "Beany Malone Cookbook" :-)


Ingredients:


1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine or butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 Tbsp dry cocoa
3 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1 tsp vanilla
The recipe also calls for an optional 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
I've never put them in but you can try it if you want.




Directions:


   Measure the milk, sugar, butter, peanut butter, and cocoa in a large saucepan and stir well together. Bring to a boil, and boil only 1 minute. Stir in the oatmeal, nuts, and vanilla and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper and let cool. Makes 40-50 cookies.

Insanely Quick and Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Just recently re-discovering an old recipe (another from the Beany Malone Cookbook) and in remembering (and tasting) how much I love it I thought I'd post the recipe card. :-)

Sorry it's a little blurry. It's a phone pic. :-P

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla


Directions:
Slightly beat egg then add to other ingredients and mix well. Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheet and cook for 12-15 minutes at 325*. Makes appx 40.


I love this recipe because it whips up so fast and makes a decent amount of cookies, a good thing in a family of 8. :-) I also love this recipe because the are still chewy the next day instead of getting hard like so many home-made cookies do (which if any one has any tips for me on this subject, please, feel free!).
That's it!
