Peanut Butter Cookies

I used to have a recipe for Nan's peanut butter cookies made by you, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! I've tried at least a dozen others but they don't compare in taste or the softness of yours. --Micaela
Hi Micaela, Do you mean my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chippers? That’s the only peanut butter cookie recipe of mine that is not yet on the site. And I know that it is a keeper!  I’ve put the text below, and we’ll work on getting the picture and recipe in the recipe section soon. 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've heard that you can prepare sweet potatoes and all side dishes ahead and then freeze them. If this is done, then how do you prepare them so they're not overcooked on Thanksgiving, i.e., dressing, sweet potatoes, casseroles, etc? --Patty
