Sugary Cookie Bliss

Sometimes a I think this blog should be called, “Recipe Hacks.” These cookies are amazing and are originally from this recipe.

I used a few tablespoons of pink sugar crystals in place of the sprinkles, rolled each cookie into a 1″-1.5″ ball and baked on the top rack at 300 for 15 minutes.

Would be great for Easter Baskets!

Per usual, the base was taken from Better Homes and Gardens Red Checkered Cookbook but doubled.

2 cups flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 cup chunky peanutbutter(slightly melted in the microwave)

2 tbsp brown sugar(I would probably double this and add at least a tbsp white sugar, needed to be sweeter.)

2 eggs

2 cups milk

3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

(I’m going to try 2 tsp of vanilla next time)

Combine ingredients, mix well, cook on med-low one ladle for each pancake, cook as usual but melt butter or margarine on griddle before each pancake. Makes about 12 small pancakes.
