Heath/PB Cookies

Hello, and happy Saturday to you all! We're signed up to bring a dessert to our small group this Sunday night, so I'm pulling out an old favorite - Heath/PB cookies. (Their real name is Heath Bits Peanut Butter Cookies, but that's way too long.) This recipe comes from the Hershey company, and is absolutely fantastic.

Need photographic proof? Here:



Doesn't that look yummy? Can't you picture a few of those guys, still warm from the oven, snuggled up to a scoop or two of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla? Mmm...

If I'm making these to take somewhere (as I will be on Sunday), I like to make a double batch, since the recipe only makes 3 dozen. That way there will be too many, and I can bring some home. :-)

HEATH Bits Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup REESE'S Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1-1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/3 cups (8 oz. pkg.) HEATH BITS 'O BRICKLE Toffee Bits, divided

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F.

2. Beat shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Add egg; beat just until blended. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture. Stir in 1 cup bits; reserve remainder for topping.

3. Drop by heaping teaspoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet; top each with reserved bits.

4. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until set. Do not overbake. Cool 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack. Cool completely. About 3 dozen cookies.

Mmmmm, good! I'm going to forward the recipe to my daughter since she's the official baker in the family. Maybe she'll make some for us!

At first I thought it said "healthy." When I looked at the ingredients, I didn't see a whole lotta healthy there. Then I realized it was just wishful thinking on my part. (I'm trying to justify eating cookies as health food!)

Seriously, these sounds yummy!
