PB Cookies

Austin started kindergarten yesterday. They have staggered entry here which means one half of the class started yesterday and the other half started today.  Today he was home with me while the other kids and parents are acquainted with the classroom.  One of Austin's favorite things to do is bake.  Since he was an infant he has spent countless hours in the kitchen with Papa Orange cooking.  Austin and my quality time often consists of baking cookies or brownies or cake or whatever we have around.

Today we made my favorite peanut butter cookies.  I love it because the recipe is so easy and quick and almost flawless!  Plus you can add a little chocolate at the end.

1. Combine one egg, one cup of creamy peanut butter and one cup of sugar in a bowl.  Use electric mixer so everything blends well.

2. Roll mix into balls and place 1" apart on cookie sheet.

3. Bake at 350 for approx 10 minutes.

4. If you'd like, push a hershey kiss in the center of each ball or flatten gently with a spoon. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool.

We didnt have any hershey kisses but I did have chocolate chips. Voila!
