A bribe, er, I mean gift of these cookies will almost always convince Detective Ransom to join in with Mrs. Thistlethwaite’s latest adventure.
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter (soften for creaming)
- 1 – 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 – 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat over to 375F. Combine peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat until well blended. Add egg. Beat until well incorporated. Combine dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Mix until just blended.
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Flatten slightly in crisscross pattern with tines of fork.
Bake at 375F for 7 to 8 minutes, or until set and just beginning to brown. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet before removing to wire rack to cool completely (or for as long as you can keep Slim from snatching one. These are his favorites, too!)
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
