Peanut Butter Meltaways

A day late on blogging this cookie. There's really no excuse for it because they were one of the easiest cookies to make. I planned on blogging after our company left last night but I promised my son I would lie down with him at bedtime...and the next thing you know it's 1:00 a.m. Oh well!

When I say this one was simple, believe me, it was. In fact, I was thinking that I might make them again today since I don't have a single cookie left after packing them up for my girlfriends. Oh, the recipe made enough, but they were so tasty that they just didn't make it through the night. I scolded my husband several times for taking cookies off the tray before I took my picture and packed them up for my friends. Every time I left the room, a few more cookies were missing!

You mix up the ingredients, press it into a pan and bake for 20 minutes (or more, if you're like me and don't read the oven temperature correctly). The hardest part of this recipe is unwrapping 26 carmels. I AM starting to feel a little guilty that my recipes are so easy. Especially since I know that Phoebe has to paint her cookies today. Good luck, Phoebes!

  1. Shelly the cookies look great. At one time these were a regular on our cookie rotation at Christmas, but somehow some others won out. Tucking children in always comes first. L. Sharon

  2. Shelly,
    The cookies were awesome. I am a bit jealous that you are on an easy rotation now. I am missing my easy cookies!! Sorry all of your cookies were eaten before you had a chance to take a picture. They look and taste great.

  3. Those are good cookies so I can see why you'd consider baking more the next day. Sounds like your husband is the Cookie Monster in your home! Nice picture. Theresa G.

  4. I wasn't home 5 minutes and they were all gone. Thankfully after the second, I rushed the third to Jack and begged him to eat it before I ate it!! yum yum. A
