Peanut Butter Chocolate Chippers

I lost your peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe. Can you get it for me? Thank you. --Dorothy
Hi Dorothy, That’s one of my favorites! Amazing that you can make cookies without flour, right?  I’ll try to get the recipe and picture up on the site soon, but in the meantime, the text is below. Enjoy! Peanut Butter Chocolate Chippers Nobody could make peanut butter cookies like my Grandma! Preparation time: 10 minutes Baking time:12 minutes Makes about 2 dozen cookies 1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1 large egg 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips Granulated sugar 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Combine peanut butter, brown sugar and egg in medium bowl until well blended. Add chocolate chips to the dough; mix well. 3. Roll heaping tablespoonfuls of dough into 1 1⁄2-inch balls. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. 4. Dip table fork into granulated sugar. Press sugar-coated tines of fork in crisscross fashion onto each ball, flattening to 1⁄2-inch thickness. Repeat dipping fork into granulated sugar to prevent it from sticking to dough. 5. Bake cookies in middle of oven until set, about 12 minutes. Let cookies stand on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Remove cookies with spatula to wire racks; let cool completely. Store cookies in airtight container for up to one week. Grandma’s Secret Tip Whether Grandma wanted to say “Welcome to the neighborhood,” “Good job!” or just “I love you,” she thought cookies said it best. If you want to make a statement with cookies, follow Grandma’s example. Start with a colorful plastic or paper plate. Pile it high with tasty cookies and then wrap it all up in colored plastic wrap. Tie the wrap with festive curling ribbons. Include the recipe on a pretty note card for a personal touch.

    I have not been able to master cooking a whole chicken to make it flavorful, juicy, and with a crispy tasty skin. Also, I usually cook it with veggies surrounding it while it cooks. Any suggestions? --Laura Ann

    Grandma Betty, We make stuffed peppers about once a month but can never figure out how to make the beef and rice mixture come out moist...what do you suggest? We normally make the mixture from 80/20 beef, rice, and one can of tomato paste. Thanks, --Jerry & Carol
