I enjoy cooking. I really do. I don't like spending all day in the kitchen but making cookies? I think I've mastered Flourless Peanut Butter cookies from Joy the Baker
I first made them in February 2012 for my late grandpa. He was a big fan of peanut butter cookies and I was going to find the best. I had made a recipe that tasted and looked like oatmeal cookie with peanuts in it. Not a winner. So I searched the good ol' google and found these. Perfection! Only peanut butter cookies I'll make.
But I'd hate to keep all the wonderfulness to myself.

Below is the recipe, copied from the website:

1 cup all-natural chunky or smooth peanut butter

1 cup sugar (1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar)

1 egg

1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside. In a mixer combine peanut butter and sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add egg and baking soda and mix for another 2 minutes. Roll into walnut sized balls and create a cris-cross pattern with a fork. If you’d like, add a few chocolate pieces to the top of the cookies. Bake for 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer to… your mouth.

I didn't change it at all.

Now I could stop here with these amazing cookies but the title says Recipes so I have to add at least one more.

I think I'll add the Magic Wands from All Recipes . I made these last Halloween for a party and they are super easy, you could have a 5 year old do it. Its as easy as this:

1 (15 ounce) package pretzel rods
1 (16 ounce) container prepared vanilla frosting
1/2 cup sprinkles or colored sugar for decoration

Dip each pretzel rod into frosting, not quite half way. Roll in sprinkles to coat the frosting. Abracadabra, you have a magic wand!

That easy! I think I'll add another super easy one from Pinterest. I've made it a bunch of times and it's awesome! Great for college students who only have a microwave or can only work the microwave...

Really easy and really tasty!

I have one more! I found this one on Pinterest and my family made it last week over our beach vacation. Lol, that's a story for ya. Perhaps in a different post.

It's Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream though better known has Homemade Frosties

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 8 oz. tub Cool Whip
1/2 gallon chocolate milk

Anyway, first mix the sweetened condensed milk with the cool whip and about half of the chocolate milk (or whatever will fit into your bowl).

Next, pour the mixture into your ice cream freezer, and fill the remaining chocolate milk to the fill line. (Ours fits 1/2 gallon just perfectly).

Follow your ice cream freezer directions to finish the ice cream. Ours involves adding ice and rock salt every now and then while the ice melts down, and stops on its own.

And when it’s done… Perfection.

So I think that's really the end of my recipe sharing time...though I could go on and on and on.

Have fun!
