For me stress equals cooking and most often, chocolate! As the past few weeks have been a bit stressful, it’s really no wonder that these cookies made their way into my oven. Spectacularly easy and absolutely delicious, these cookies will find a special place in your heart. They have always held a special place in mine!
Anyhow, enough talking… go forth and bake cookies!
Peanut butter Cookies
This is a recipe I grew up on; an Elkins family recipe and an all around favorite! Anyone who likes Peanutbutter or chocolate will love these. And just a warning… they will not last long! This is my go-to sugary comfort food.
1 c. packed brown sugar
1 c. Peanut butter
1 egg
2/3 c. chocolate chips (can also be made with hershey kisses*)
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Roll into 1 in balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten the cookies (dipping the fork in sugar helps to keep it from sticking to the cookies).
Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
* When making these with the kisses mix just the sugar, Peanut butter and egg and bake in rounded balls. Press the unwrapped kisses into the cookies immediately after removing them from the oven.

I added the chocolate chips when you were tiny, because all of the girls in the family loved Reese’s peanutbutter cups so much! It was my way of making us all very happy!!! Then, because I always had you little girls (starting at age 2) help make cookies, we discovered that chocolate kisses were easy for you little cooks to add to the peanutbutter balls . . . . which tasted even better warm than Reese’s to all of us!!!
Actually, I was the Elkins who brought the PB cookie recipe to the family 29 years ago. A CCU nurse gave me the recipe and I lost it years ago. Your family added the chocolate chips. (Wise choice!)
Mmmmm…. Favorite!! 😛
Also yummu if you sub granulated sugar for brown & whatever leftovers you do end up with, warm up a few secs in the microwave before eating – back to fresh-baked gooey goodness!
This receipe is quicker to make than going to the store and buying cookies…and so much more delicious. It’s hard to stop eating them!
