Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Got this recipe from a cookbook compiled by my mother-in-law's congregation. I happily took the chance to double the recipe for you. You'll thank me later.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 c butter or margarine (I use unsalted butter)
3 c white sugar
2 eggs
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
2 tsp vanilla
5 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
2 c chocolate chips

Cream butter and sugar. Mix in wet ingredients (egg, pumpkin and vanilla). Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl. Gradually mix dry ingredients in. Drop spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.

Mrs. Fields Cookies

This recipe is courtesy of my Mother-in-Law, who has been a Cook much longer than I have.

Cream together:

1 1/2 c sugar
2 c brown sugar
1 lb (2 c) margarine
2 tbs vanilla
3 eggs

6 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt


Mix in dry ingredients to margarine/sugar mixture. Add 3 c chocolate chips.

Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

Makes a gazillion cookies. VERY yummy.

Peanut Butter Bars

These. Are. So. Good.

They taste like Reese's Cups, but I kind of like them better.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about one plastic package worth)
2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup chocolate chips
4 Tablespoon Peanut Butter

Melt first two ingredients on the stove. Mix in bowl with graham crackers and powdered sugar. Press into ungreased 9x13 dish.

Melt last two ingredients and spread on top of peanut butter mixture. Stick in the fridge for at least an hour.

You could also line the pan with foil to make it easier to lift the bars out once you cut them. These are great for parties or entertaining!
