. . . Cookie Time Tuesday-Chocolate Peanut Cookies . . .

I can't tell you what a challenge finding a new cookie recipe has become.  I try so hard to keep bringing you something new but it can be difficult to do.  I bought a Taste of Home Cookie cookbook for the weeks when I'm stumped and just don't know what to make--this was one of those weeks! 

I had to have another epidural steroid injection in my back this past Friday so that meant 2 to 3 days of not doing a lot of standing or lifting per doctor's orders so I was in a time crunch to get these done to share with you today.  The one good thing about being in bed or on the couch for a few days it gave me plenty of time to look for recipes.  When I came across this one in the Taste of Home Cookie cookbook I knew it was a Cookie Time recipe for sure!  My husband and son don't care for peanut butter (crazy, I know) but I love chocolate and peanut butter mixed together so this recipe was calling my name..."Lindy, make me now.  Lindy, make me now".  Thanks to my husband making a late night grocery store run for the mini Reece's Cups I can now share these delicious little morsels with you! 

I loved all the chunks in these cookies but if you didn't want them chunky just chop up the nuts and finely dice the peanut butter cups up and even use mini chocolate chips but personally I think the big chunks made them especially yummy.

. . . Cookie Time Tuesday - 5 Ingredient Cookies . . .

These cookies are so easy and delicious!  They are a cake mix and pudding cookie so they are soft but also have a bit of a chewiness to them. 

The recipe doesn't call for any flour but I found that after baking the first tray that they stayed pretty flat so I added a scoop of flour to the batter and after that they held together better and puffed up very nicely.  On the printable recipe there is a note about this step at the bottom.

I hope you enjoy these FIVE Ingredient Cookies!

You will need:

1 Box of Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix

2 Boxes (3.9 ounce) Chocolate Fudge Instant Pudding Mix

1 1/2 Cups Mayonnaise

1/2 Cup Chopped Nuts

2 Cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

 • • •

FIVE Ingredient Cookies--Simple as can be!

• Gather ingredients

• Combine cake mix, pudding mixes and mayonnaise and mix well

• Your batter will be very "wet" but this is ok

• Chop the nuts of your choice in a food chopper.  I chose to use Honey Roasted Peanuts and it made these really good!

• Add the chopped nuts and the chocolate chips to the batter and combine well

• Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheet

• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 9 to 10 minutes or until they puff up and crack slightly on top

 

• • • Yummy!

• • • EASY!

. . . Cookie Time Tuesday--Chocolate Lover's Dream Cookies . . .

It's Cookie Time!!  After skipping last week I wanted to feature a really yummy recipe this week to make up for it.  This one is a real keeper!  It is the Chocolate Lover's Dream Cookie.  I dare you to be able to eat just one.

I did half the batch with just the white and chocolate chips but the second half I added chopped peanuts and boy that added a great "crunch".  You could add pretty much anything to change up the flavor a little.  These would be great with coconut, toffee chips, butterscotch chips etc.  I think you will really enjoy this recipe.

. . . CookieTimeTuesday-Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies . . .

I love Great Harvest Bread so when they showed a recipe for Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies on our local news I knew it was a must for an upcoming Cookie Time Tuesday.  These sure didn't disappoint!  I would not bake them for as long as they called for because the outside just got too brown and the cookie ended up crunchier than I like.  By the last batch I baked I finally got it right...in my oven it took about 9 minutes at 375 to get the perfect combination of crunchy and soft.

I hope you enjoy this one because it's a perfect Fall Cookie to serve.  They'd be great with White Chocolate Chips too!

You will need:

2/3 Cup Soft Unsalted Butter

2/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar

2 Large Eggs

1 ½ Cups Old Fashioned Oats

1 ½ Cups Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Cup Dried Cranberries

1 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips

. . . CookieTimeTuesday-PB Rice Krispy Treat Cookies . . .

Who doesn't love Rice Krispy Treats?  I know in our house they are always enjoyed even though I don't make them very often.  This cookie is so unique because it combines a Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie with a Rice Krispy Treat.  Wow!

This recipe came from Stephanie's Kitchen--a great blog!  There isn't a recipe on there that isn't wonderful.

A couple tips:

**Make sure you use Parchment Paper on your cookie sheets

**Let the cookies cool on the Parchment Paper before you start trying to move them to the cooling rack

**I would use less Marshmallows next time I make these.  I am going to try 1 Cup instead
