Here’s a link<\/a> to a great cookie recipe I made last weekend. If you go to the link, just want to warn you that there’s a typo. It says bake them 8-22 minutes when it’s actually 18-22 minutes!!! I’ve provided the text below, with corrections, also with my notes on how I made my cookies taste better!<\/p>\n

Mrs. Fields Peanut Butter Cookies<\/p>\n

2 teaspoons Vanilla
\n1 c Peanut butter — creamy
\n3 Eggs
\n1 c Butter — softened
\n1 1\/4 c Sugar
\n1 1\/4 c Dark brown sugar
\n1\/4 t Salt
\n1\/2 t Baking soda
\n2 c Flour<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 300\u00baF.<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl, blend sugars using a mixer at medium speed. Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste.<\/p>\n

Add eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just mixed. (Do not overmix).<\/p>\n

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, (I used a melonball scoop to measure cookie dough onto the sheet)<\/strong><\/em>1 1\/2 inches apart. With a wet fork, gently press a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.<\/p>\n

Bake for 18-22 minutes (for my oven, the ideal baking time is 25 minutes!)<\/strong><\/em> until cookies are slightly brown along the edges. Transfer cookies immediately to cool surface with a spatula.<\/p>\n

\nWriting-wise, if there are any questions that readers may want to ask me about how I went about getting commercially published, feel free to send me an email at dowdywriter@aol.com I might answer the question on my blog.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow there will not be a blog. It’s a national day of mourning for the victims in Monday’s Virginia Tech shooting. I’ve also heard that it’s supposed to be a silent blog day. I’ll continue praying for the friends and families of the victims.<\/p>\n
