Peanut Butter Cookies

Need a quick dessert this evening? Try these delicious cookies. 

Ingredients

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour 
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 (4) oz box of instant vanilla pudding and pie filling mix
• 2 sticks of butter, softened
• 1 cup of packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup of granulated sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.

Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.

In a small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, using a hand blender, mix together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and blend until smooth. Stir in the vanilla pudding and pie filling and mix just until blended. Add the peanut butter and mix just until the mixture is blended.

Add the flour mixture and, using a spoon or fork, stir just until all ingredients are well blended.

Drop by rounded tablespoon fulls onto the prepared cookie sheet and place them two inches apart. (I usually measure out two tablespoons per cookie.) Dip a fork into the sugar for each cookie and flatten each cookie to approximately 1/2 inch.

Cook the cookies for 10 - 12 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes and transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Enjoy with a nice glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Makes 36 cookies.
