Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies
"A delicious rich tasting soft cookie that is quick and easy to make. If you love brownies or peanut butter give these a try. The original recipe (Pillsbury Bake Off - 41 Contest submitted by Deb McGowan) calls for 1-cup peanut butter and 1 cup powder sugar. I had lots left over so I have decreased it to 3/4 cup each on this recipe. The 1st batch I didn't press the peanut butter ball down enough but still tasted great. Make sure you let them cool as the peanut butter holds the heat and you may burn your mouth."

THANK YOU! This recipe saved me. My husband showed up to work only to call me at 9am asking if I could make something by noon for his office holiday potluck, which he forgot about. Not easy with a house full of 4 under the age of 5! I needed something delicious enough to send into his work, but quick enough that I could do with 4 kids under foot. This recipe was a grand slam! Made it in under 30 mins, including bake time! My husband said they were the best things I've ever made. My daughter and I are preparing to make 3 more batches today for cookie trays to give to the neighbors :-) Thanks for sharing Heather! -
These are my favorite cookies! My sister and I found the recipe a few years ago, and they are delicious! I was actually just going to post it, but decided to make sure it wasn't already on here. Well, apparently I won't have to post it anymore. (:

I found this in Pillsbury Christmas 2009. The peanut butter part is what makes the cookie. Love this. -

I was looking for a cookie that was a little different for a Christmas gift Basket that is being shared on our neighborhood street and I tought, "this was it." We all had smiles on our faces as we slowly chewed these fabulous treats. I gave one to the Electrician and the contractors working on the addition to our house and I heard them talking amongst themselves and they had said that they thought that these were the best cookies they thought they have ever had. Wow! I did use little pieces of milk chocolate pressed into the center of the peanut butter as soon as I pulled them out of the oven. Wonderful and thanks for the recipe.

I live in Ontario and work full time as a consultant in IT for a communication company in another province. I create test cases and scripts and initiate the testing for the software changes that the programmers make to the company’s various programs. I have the pleasure of working from my home and dialling into their network. I also sell Avon for fun.
I met my husband (Paul) on a blind date. We dated 3 years and have been married for 25 years. We have two children a son(age 20) and a DD(age 17). We have been blessed with the best two kids anyone could ask for.
DH is a commerical airline pilot and currently is a "Check Pilot" on the A320. He is away quite a bit, so when he comes home I try to make sure he has a decent meal. He eats out when on the road so he really enjoys a good home cooked meal when he arrives home, while the rest of us want to go and eat out.
I love to spend time in my garden, travel and try new recipes. DH and I love to travel or just spend time at a cottage in the summer. I have not been on a cruise but hope to within the next 2 years (maybe for our 25th wedding anniversary.)
We pretty much eat anything. DH especially loves seafood (more than I do.) while I prefer to eat chicken. We are so predicable when ordering our meal at a restaurant. Next, I think it would have to be Italian and then something spicy like Thai or Indian. My family loves Indian food but I have never had the courage to make it. Maybe I will someday.
I like to read true stories and criminal books. David Baldacci is one of my favourite authors.
My favorite restaurant is "Bin 23", "Einsteins Cafe," "Abberfolye Mill"
My brother sent me the link to Recipezaar and now I am hooked trying new recipes every day. I don't think I will buy another cook book.
