Our sweet little children are growing up.
My oldest two {7, 5} helped out Dad on the farm all weekend long. I’m sure in the fall they will be begging to help sort, brand, and steer the calves. When did this happen…and in case you were wondering, the answer is no!
My almost 3 year old went poopie on the pooty for the first time. Ever. It’s not like we haven’t tried to bribe coax him. When did this happen!? Okay, this couldn’t have come soon enough, but still.
My 1 year old took his first steps. Seriously folks, when did THIS happen!? Walking!? I’m so not ready for the walking because once the walking starts the running is next. When he walks between the mr and I he can hardly stand still to get his balance. The running is not far behind.
No matter how old or how fast our children grow one thing remains the same, they are still our little babies and the desire to give them everything want {within reason} is there. My kids just light up when I say I made cookies so you can imagine their reaction when I showed them these.
Chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in heaven in my opinion. I’m right, just ask the mr. These cookies are a favorite of mine from my childhood and every once in awhile a traditional recipe is just what you need!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 36 chocolate kisses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a large bowl cream the butter, peanut butter, and both sugars.
- Add the egg and vanilla and stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl mix together the flour, soda, and salt. Leave the salt out if you used salted butter.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients stirring until it is incorporated.
- Roll the dough into cherry size balls, I used a tablespoon measurement.
- Place on a baking sheet 1" apart and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Unwrap the chocolate kisses while the cookies bake and gently press them on top of the cookies once they come out of the oven.
Anything with peanut butter and chocolate are a delight!
I couldn’t agree with you more, I have a 31 year old daughter and 19 year old twin daughters. Wait, when did that happen?
They’re still my babies!
No matter how old they get they will always be our babies won’t they. I’m sure I’ll be one those embarrassing parents trying to give my son a kiss on his first day of high school!
The texture of your cookies looks perfect! I am pinning this right now. BTW, your life on the farm sounds very interesting!
Thank you! Life is definitely never boring!
Love these cookies and you are so right, the time does fly. It just seems like yesterday that my youngest was born and he’s almost 7. Enjoy them while they are little! I am glad for the teenagers help on the ranch but teenagers and driving and all of that good stuff is hard to take!
Thanks, Miss! And driving!? So not ready for that!
These are a perfect classic cookie. I adore these. They look perfect.
Thank you so much, Alli!
All of these milestones going on your house!
PB chocolate delights are one of my favorite cookies. I only make them at Christmas time b/c if I made them any other time of the year I wouldn’t stop eating them…haha
Too many milestones at once if you ask me! I totally know what you mean about these cookies. I couldn’t keep my hands off of them!
These cookies are the perfect way to treat our sweet kids to something special…made by mom
Oh, those looks so good. Though I am positive that mine won’t turn out that pretty. I always get distracted and burn cookies around the edges
I just wanted to say how nice it was to meet you yesterday at the blogging luncheon. I will def. have to be back to find more recipes!
Ahh! My one year old just started walking too, craziness.
Cookies look awesome!
