The BEST cookie recipe ever?

Question

I've been to FoodTV, Better Homes and Gardens and other sights that don't give me anything good if anything at all useful. I lost my cook book 3 months ago and now I'm asking you; What is the best cookie recipe ever?

Answer 1

I don't know if this is the best COOKIE recipe ever, but it is the best PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE recipe I've ever found.

Peanut Butter Crisps

1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened and divided
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups (10 oz. package) Reese's peanut butter chips
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
granulated sugar

In large mixer bowl, beat together 3/4 butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add corn syrup, egg, and vanilla; blend well.
In medium microwave-safe bowl place peanut butter chips and remaining 1/4 butter. Microwave on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes; stir until smooth when stirred.
Blend into butter mixture.
In separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt; add to peanut butter mixture, blending well.
Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

I have another recipe that's really good......it's for a blonde brownie. I think that one has replaced choclolate chip cookies for me! If you'd like it, just email me. Happy baking!
