Any good cookie recipes that you have personally used?

I have been badgered by my other half to bake cookies for so long now that I've broken and I will do it!





I have everyday ingredients like butter, flour. I also have vanilla extract and chocolate chips.





I'd like a vanilla or chocolate chip cookie recipe if you have a good one. Could you put them together?Any good cookie recipes that you have personally used?

No-Bake Peanut Butter Squares





Ingredients::


1/2cup (1 stick) butter or margarine


2 cups (sifted) powdered sugar


1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs


1 cup peanut butter


1 1/2 pkg. (12 squares) Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate


1/2cup milk (optional)





Directions:


Line 13” x 9” baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Set aside.


Melt butter in large microwavable bowl on HIGH 1.5 - 2½ minutes or until melted.


ADD sugar, graham cracker crumbs %26amp; peanut butter……and milk if needed. Mix well spread into prepared pan.


Microwave chocolate 1.5 – 2 minutes or until melted stirring after each minute. Cool slightly; pour %26amp; spread over peanut butter mixture in pan. Cool. Cut partially through dessert to mark 48 squares. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set.


LIFT from pan, using foil handles. Cut all the way through dessert into squares.





(I used the milk…was easier to spread in pan….I’ve made this also…not bothering to line pan with foil…or not scoring before refrigerating…….served from pan…..let it sit at room temperature before cutting…about 15 – 20 minutes..…easier to cut into serving pieces).





Or even:





Mock Ice Cream Sandwiches





2 whole graham crackers


Cool Whip





Spread a thin layer of Cool Whip on 1 whole cracker….top with remaining cracker….freeze.


Can't get any simpler that that!!


You'll want to make several at a time.....can't eat just one!





HINT: Melt some chocolate and drizzle over top before freezing.
