Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

My first counselor, Joan (who was just recently called to YW), shared these with us during presidency meeting. These are very addicting and good cookies to make when you don't have certain ingredients!

• 1 cup peanut butter (I use creamy)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• dash vanilla
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Mix and roll into balls and flatten with fork. Bake 350 for 10 minutes. YUM!

Sugar Cookies

My friend April is a great baker. She gave me this recipe.

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 Tablespoon milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Powdered sugar, for rolling out dough

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar until light color. Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add flour and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide dough in half, wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Roll out dough  to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shape. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes.
I used this recipe every year for my preschoolers Christmas party.

Prophet Cookies

This is an absolute family favorite, so good even Aaron bakes it! This was given to us by my friend Tiff, and I am so glad she left a comment, because, yep, I had lost the recipe... I think they are President Gordon B. Hinckley's favorite cookie recipe. Maybe that's a myth.
