Shortbread Cookies!

One of my husbands favorites

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 cup confectioners' or granulated sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2-inch round cake or springform pan. Sift together flour and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, cream butter until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sugar, and continue to beat until very light in color and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary, about 2 minutes more. Add flour mixture, and beat on low, scraping bowl if necessary, until flour is just incorporated and dough sticks together when squeezed.
2. Pat dough into prepared pan. Use a paring knife to score dough into wedges; prick all over in even intervals with a wooden skewer or fork.
3. Bake until firm in the center and just starting to color, about 50 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Cut into wedges. Cookies will keep, in an airtight container, at room temperature 3 weeks.

I have tried MANY shortbread recipes & this is definitely one we love

Shelley's "TIME OF THE MONTH" Cookies

No Joke, these are heaven...like a warm reese's peanut butter cup

These are amazing because they only make about 14 depending on how much you make, so you can get rid of them fast, and I don't mean eat them all yourself I mean SHARE!  My first cookie recipe that I made up woohoo!

1 cup of peanut butter

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of brown sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 oz of semi-sweet chocolate ( melted )

1/2 to 3/4 cup of chocolate chunks

Combine peanut butter, sugars, egg, vanilla.  Melt chocolate and the add to mix and stir till blended.  Then add the chocolate chunks!  roll into 2 inch balls and flatten slightly.  Bake in a preheated over for 350 degree's for 8-9 minutes.  

WARNING  These are extremely gooey so make sure you let them set.  And make sure you have patience enough to let them cool off enough so you don't burn your tongue like I did :)  ENJOY!!!
