Martha's Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup crisco
1-cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1-cup peanut butter
2 eggs
2 ½ cups flour
2 teaspoons soda
2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream shortening. Add sugars and cream. Add peanut
butter and eggs, mixing well. Add flour, soda and vanilla,
mixing to combine. Roll into balls (I use a little
over a tablespoon) and place on cookie sheet (I use
airbrake and parchment paper). Using a fork, flatten
crosswise. (I dip my fork in sugar so it does not stick).
Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly brown. Watch
them close, they will burn easily. Cool on racks.

No Bake Wheat Fudge Cookies

I started making this when I was probably 8
years old.

2 cups sugar
1 stick margarine
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
3 cups quick oats
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

In heave saucepan, combine sugar, margarine,
cocoa, and milk. Stir and bring to a boil over
medium heat, stirring constantly and boiling for 3
minutes.

Remove from heat and quickly fold in peanut
butter and vanilla. Next add the
oats, stirring rapidly. Drop by spoonfuls onto
wax paper. Cool & enjoy!

This is not my recipe, but it has been in my box for years - it won several
awards. It will make your mouth water just to read the recipe! Yummy!

Good frosting recipe for sugar cookies. It stays soft like on the Lofthouse or Granny B cookies,
so if you want a frosting that will be firmer, you make want to try something different.

1 c. unsalted butter, softened (not melted)

Catt's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I've tweaked this one, and I happen to think it is a pretty good recipe. When I sell these, I sell them plain
and dipped half in white chocolate. Talk about wonderful!

1-cup butter or margarine
1 ½ cups sugar
1 egg
¼ cup pure orange juice or apple juice
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon grated orange peel
3 cups quick cooking oats
1-cup raisins
1 cup chopped pecans (optional – I don’t use them)

Cream butter; gradually add sugar beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, beat well. Add
juice and vanilla, beat well. Combine in a separate bowl flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange
peel. Add to creamed mixture, beating just until mixed. Fold in oats, raisins and nuts if desired. Fold until
completely blended.

Drop by rounded teaspoons onto parchment paper on cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees for 13 minutes or until
lightly browned. Remove to wire racks and cool.

If you don’t want to use juice, use water. Also, look for an alternative below to adding nuts.

When they are cool, for extra decadence, dipped half in white chocolate, let dry on wax paper. Before the
white chocolate dries, sprinkle lightly with finely chopped pecans. Talk about professional – they look like
they came from a gourmet!

Enjoy these as my family does!

So what’s in your cookie jar right now?
