3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

I am really in the mood to make cookies this week but as of yet have not had time to do it. For now I will post a few of my favorite cookie recipes and maybe this weekend actually get to do some baking. This is a favorite recipe. I love anything good and easy and this fits both criteria! Oddly enough these cookies DO NOT require flour and yes the do come out just fine! :-)

3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg

Mix ingredients together. Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheet. If you prefer, shape into balls and pat down with fork for a more traditional look. Bake at 375*F for 10 minutes (Believe it or not there is no flour in this recipe)

Christmas Rocks - No Bake Cookies

This no bake cookie recipe is one that came to me through my son's kindergarten teacher. She served them at their Christmas party that year and I asked for the recipe. I love the orange-y flavor of the cookie and the fact that it is no bake. I have let kids help with this one over the years.

Christmas Rocks

Combine:
1 pound powdered sugar
1 stick margarine
1 six ounce can frozen orange juice
1 cup chopped pecans (chopped fairly small)
1 pound vanilla wafers, crushed (note- I open the bag of cookies to let out the air and then tape the open end and use my rolling pen to crush the cookies while they are still inside the bag)

Mix all of the above. Roll into balls then roll into shredded coconut.
Yield 96 cookies

Meal Plan

  I had a calm and pleasant Mother's Day yesterday. I hope you all did as well. I started the day making oatmeal cookies with cranberrie...
