Recipe Review .."Honey-Peanut Butter Cookies" from Taste of Home

Below is a blog post was written about eleven years ago when Caleb was a baby.  

I am resharing this post and the cookie recipe.

Give them a try; they a very good!

Blast From the Past

Over the weekend, Stephanie, Josh, and baby Caleb came for a visit.  It was wonderful!

When they left to visit Josh's family, I had a choice.  I could take a nap which sounded inviting, or I could do something constructive.  After a mental debate, I decided to make cookies, so they would have a treat when they returned home.  I pulled out my recipe binder and came across an oldie but goodie...Honey Peanut Butter Cookies from Taste of Home Magazine.

Notes

This is a yummy, soft, yet chewy peanut butter cookie. I gave it a 9.5/10 on my baking scale.

Created using The Recipes Generator

I gathered my ingredients.

A 9.5 on my cooking scale.Yum:-)

I preheated my oven to 350 degrees F.
I mixed the shortening, peanut butter, and honey with my mixer.  Then I added the eggs and mixed them well.  Then I combined the dry ingredients in a different bowl and whisked them together.  After that, I added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mixed them well.

I rolled the mixture into 1-1 1/2 inch balls and placed them on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Then I flattened the cookies with a fork dusted with flour.

Then bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes.

Can't beat cookies and milk...

I was glad I decided to do something constructive rather than a nap.  

Although taking a nap is a beautiful thing.

Everyone enjoyed the cookies.  

I even gave Brodie a taste...He loved them:-)

Happy Eating, Everyone!
