"GrammyKathy" wrote ... Could someone help me. I found a peanut butter recipe on-line. I thought I saved it but I can't find it. This cookie you rolled into a ball and baked without smashing it. It stayed in a ball. Now I can't find it anywhere. I was sure I saved it but I can't find it. Please does anyone know where to find it. The only thing I remember was it took 2 or 2 1/2 cups of sugar and 1 or 1 1/2 cups of flour. I think it took 1 cup of Peanut Butter.

Thanks

The one I had didn't use honey. Would be so bad but my DH just LOVED the ones I made and now I can't find the dumb things. Thanks for trying.

The love of my life is a Cookie Monster if there ever was one. Thank you Jeanne so very much for showing us this great recipe place. Wow. Just lately, I've been researching cookies that can make the trip to Afghanistan. The best nomination seems to be Snickerdoodles. Any recommendations? Polly O'Esther

pack them surrounded by popped corn. we did that during the vietnam war and it worked a treat. everything arrived intact and they ate the popcorn too. ok so it might be better fresh popped but when your in a war zone it doesnt seem to matter if popcorn is fresh or not, it was from hom and that was all he cared about. i'll see what else i can find on those snickerdoodles, tho never made them myself. j.

We packed our last shipment to our heroes with batting scraps. ( It was what was on hand and seemed like a good idea). It worked perfectly and someone there badly needed packing for something she needed to ship home. Double perfectly.) I have many recipes for Snickerdoodles. The serious question is: What cookie can withstand the time/treatment of shipping? We suppose that chocolate is not a good idea, wonder if those cute little tiny M & Ms do better, know for sure that the favorite around here - meringues would arrive kinda crumbly. And what do those dear folks so far from home just delight in receiving? Polly

Polly, are you asking for a Snickerdoodle recipe? If so I have one that delights my church family and is always requested when it's 'my month' for treats. ;-)

Thank you, Leslie, but no. I have Snickerdoodle recipes. My question has to do with success in shipping to furrin' countries. We have more than

2,000 lurkers here and there's just bound to be some who know which " I thank you and appreciate you and love you" cookie says it best. Polly

oh, ok. i've no idea what the troops et al now days would love. i'm thinking the basic cookie recipes from childhood. peanut butter comes to mind. maybe a variation with some m'n'm's in them? j.

You forgot to include the link for Polly :-)

All Anzac recipes have golden syrup in them. I'm sure maple syrup (or even honey in a pinch) would be a suitable substitute.

I have a robot vacuum cleaner - would that do? It really does work >g< . In message , Polly Esther writes

I just read the recipe for Anzac 'cookies' on Better Homes & Garden website. That recipe says they will keep 3 days at room temp??? It also says we can find golden syrup in 'larger supermarkets'. Not gonna happen for Polly or me. ;-)

Not in this house they don't. I turn my back and the biscuit tin is empty - again!

Not sure this is the one you're looking for but it sounds familiar at least.

1 cup sugar 1 cup peanut butter 1 egg

mixed together; roll into small balls; bake 8-10 min at 350.

This recipe, as you can tell, can easily be doubled, tripled.

GrammyKathy....here are two i used to send to Iraq to my son when he was in the Marines. I packed them in popcorn as well and in plastic containers, taped them up real good and they arrived in excellent shape! amy in CNY

ok , first off, the biscotti....a crunchy licorice tasting tidbit....great with hot coffee on a cold evening...

1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1/4 cup Anisette liqueur (booz) 3 eggs 3 3/4 cups flour (i use unbleached) 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 3 teaspoons anise flavoring pinch of salt (extra flour for kneeding)

set oven at 350 degrees F, makes about 3 1/2 doz. cookies

in a bowl, combine sugar, butter, and liqueur and flavoring. Beat at medium speed, or with a fork until mixed well. add the eggs one at a time, beating after each to a smooth consistancy. add flour, baking Powder, and salt. Mix well. the dough will get a little stiff. turn out of the bowl on a floured surface, and kneed for a few times, untill elastic but not hard. divide the dough into 4 pieces. shape each piece into long loaves. place on cookie sheet about 2-3 inches apart (you may need two pans) and bake for about 30-35 minutes. take them out of the oven and slice them with a serrated knife on the diagonal in 1 inch slices, place these slices back on the cookie sheets and bake again for 5-7 minutes, turn them over and bake for 5-7 minutes more. they should be golden brown on both sides. Let them cool.

if you want to dip them in chocolate:

in a sauce pan on the stove on medium heat, (or microwave for 1 1/2 minutes at a time on high) put 1 cup of chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons of shortening until melted together. dip the cooled cookies in the chocolate. you can dip them in chopped almonds or pecans, place on wax paper on a new cookie sheet to cool and set up.

make coffee and gobble them up!!

******************************************************************* Now for the peanut butter balls, decadent little nibbles that will stir up your taste-buds!

mix together: 3 cups confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar) 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 melted sticks of margarine (not butter or shortening) chill for atleast 3 hours or overnite

remove from fridge and shape into little balls (about the size of a nickel). Place these on a wax paper lined cookie sheet, chill again utill very cold (about 1 hour-i put them in the freezer!).

Chocolate coating:

12 ounces real chocolate chips 4 ounces of Baker's dark chocolate 1 bar of paraffin wax ( you can get this in the hardware store or grocery store by the canning supplies)

over hot boiling water, double boiler preferable, but a metal bowl over a pan of water will do, melt all the above together. DO NOT DO THIS IN THE MICROWAVE. THE WAX WILL BURN. then with a spoon dip the pbb's in the chocolate and let set up on the wax paper lined pans. a pickle fork or shrimp fork works good too to dip them.
