Peanut Butter Buckeyes

I rarely post a recipe unless I've tried making it myself first so that I can "testify" from personal experience. But occasionally. a recipe comes along where I don't feel that is necessary, and these Peanut Butter Buckeyes are just such a treat. My uncle and aunt made a batch of these traditional Ohio candies today and let me and my dad taste them. The combo of peanut butter and chocolate is virtually guaranteed to be a hit. They are so simple and and so tasty that I have to get the recipe up right away. You can find the original recipe here .

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

This recipe could not be any easier. I saw it on Pinterest initially, but it comes from Paula Deen originally, I understand. Honestly, I've never made flourless cookies like these before, and I'm amazed how they can taste like normal cookies without flour. But they do, and these cookies has a great peanut buttery flavor. The next time I make them, I may reduce the baking time a bit because I like a softer cookie, but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. 1 egg 1 cup sugar 1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in sugar to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and if desired, sprinkle with a little ex...

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I feel like I have a number of peanut butter cookies on this blog already, but this one is too good to not pass along. This cookie is slightly cakey and very peanut buttery, which is what I look for in the perfect peanut butter cookie.
