Peanut Butter Brownies
Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes
1 c. peanut butter
1 stick butter, softened
2 c. packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 t. salt (I omit the salt)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13 x 9 pan. Beat peanut butter and butter in large bowl with electric mixer until well blended. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; beat until fluffy and light. Stir in flour and salt until well blended. Spread batter in prepared baking pan. (I usually sprinkle baking M & Ms on top . . . the kids love it!) Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. Cut into 24 brownies. Wonderfully moist. Great taste!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
1 c. butter or margarine, softened
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 t. vanilla
3/4 c. creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
1/3 c. cocoa
2 1/3 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
15 miniature Reeses peanut butter cups, quartered
3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. peanut butter chips
Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugars, add vanilla, peanut butter, and eggs. Mix well. Add cocoa; mix well. Add flour, salt, and soda; mix well. Fold in chips and quartered peanut butter cups. Scoop onto ungreased cookie sheet by teaspoonfuls, 2 apart. They spread a little. Bake 9-11 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes on sheet before transferring to cooling rack or theyll fall apart. They set nicely when cooled. Enjoy! These are really rich! MY NOTES: I double the recipe and use an entire 13 oz. bag of Reeses peanut butter cups, 12 oz. of chocolate chips, and a 10 oz. bag of peanut butter chips. The Reeses are easier to cut if you turn them upside down. (NOTE: This past weekend when I made these, I discovered I didn't have enough cocoa so I substituted Nestle Quick for half the cocoa. Yummy! I think I'm going to make them this way from now on.)
lol i think my mom copied this from the recipes board
