1-1/2 cups butter, softened
3 cups of sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 cups of flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon Salt

Directions:
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. Then slowly adding dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. A mixer is best for this. It can be done by hand, it will just take a while.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough to 1/4 to 1/2 in thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters.
Place cookies one inch apart on cookie sheet.
Bake for 5 minutes. You HAVE to keep an eye on these cookies. They bake quick.
**A Tip, place a piece of parchment paper on the cookie sheet and bake the cookies on the parchment. The cookies don’t stick and just slide off.

~Enjoy~

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

with one comment

Yes, another Peanut Butter Ball recipe.  However, I like this one better than the previous one I have posted.  This one I just find more interesting and to my liking.  Although, I like the other one as well.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

2 cups peanut butter (chunky or smooth) -(I use a cup of each)
1/2 cup butter softened
3 cups icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups crispy rice cereal (I use rice Kripies)

Directions:

Mix peanut butter, butter vanilla and icing sugar, add cereal mixing well until well combined.

Form dough into 1″ balls and place them on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Chill for 20 minutes in the fridge or pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes.

In a double boiler or microwave melt 1/4 bar of pure paraffin (yes, wax, I know it’s weird but that’s what you do!!) with 3 cups of chocolate chips.

Using fork or slotted spoon, dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate and place on wax paper. Chill until set.

Big Crayons for little hands.

This is a awesome use for all those broken crayons.  It is a good way to recycle.

Items needed:

  • Muffin Pan or any other fun shapes pan
  • Cooking Spray (or baking cups – especially if you are using a tin you cook in.)
  • Broken Crayons

Directions:

First, preheat oven to 200′. Separate crayons into color families. (i.e. purple & blue, blue & green, green & yellow, yellow & orange, orange & red) Just make your own color combinations.

Take off all remaining paper and break crayons into small 1 inch or less pieces. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray or use baking cups.

Fill tin/cups with crayons. Bake at 200′ for 9 minutes or until crayons are melted. Remove from oven. Let cool for 1 hour.

In a Rush for them…you can place them in the fridge to cool faster.
