Cookies For You

Peanut Butter-Choco Chip Cookies


This recipe is one of the easiest, most scrumptious cookies I ever tried. When I prepared this my son said, "it's yummy and delicious, can you bake some more?" So if your kids love peanut butter and chocolate, try this for them.

• 2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups sugar*
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped nuts

Procedures:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree celsius
2. In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar and eggs. Mix well with a wooden spoon until smooth and well blended
3. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
4. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls, two inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheets.
5. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes then transfer to wire rack. Let cool completely.
6. Store in airtight containers to keep from getting soggy.

Note:* If you use the sweet, old fashioned type peanut butter, use only 1 1/2 cups sugar.

OH! I LOVE COOKING

CHICKEN PEPPERCORN






This is my favorite recipe . I tried it many times especially during weekend. If you like it for dinner you can prepare it ahead of time. Roasting the chicken at a lower temperature (300 degree fahrenheit or 150 degree celsius) results in a more tender chicken with a crisp skin.

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice(do not substitute)
• 1 kilo chicken, cut up or use choice cuts
• 1 tbsp coarse salt
• 1-2 tablespoons peppercorns, crushed
  

PROCEDURES:

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil and lemon juice. Marinate chicken in mixture for at least 2 hours.
2. Drain chicken pieces. Rub salt all over chicken and sprinkle crushed peppercorns.
3. Roast in a turbo-broiler at 350degree fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
4. Turn chicken over and roast the other side for another 15 minutes or until done.
5. Or if not in a hurry, roast chicken in turbo broiler at 300degree fahrenheit or 150degree celsius for 45 minutes to one hour on one side and another 45 minutes to one hour on the other side, skin side up. The slow cooking makes for a more tender chicken.
