Peanut Butter Christmas Cookies

Advertisements

Another classic Christmas cookie in my household is peanut butter cookies. We usually make them both with kisses and without, and this from scratch recipe is fantastic. The only thing that is up for interpretation is the butter coldness. I left my butter out at room temperature for about 3 hours before baking, and I didn’t have to refrigerate at all. You could probably leave it out at room temperature for about 8 hours before it would be too soft to work with immediately. Because the butter was still pretty solid, there were butter chunks in the dough, but that gave no problems during cooking. Finally, with this recipe, I made 17 kiss cookies, and 19 plain cookies, giving us 36 peanut butter cookies total.

  • 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Butter, One Stick; slightly cooler than room temperature.
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 1/4 Cup Flour
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 F. Cream together both sugars, peanut butter, butter, and egg. Once combined, add remaining ingredients. If batter is too soft, refrigerate for 1 hour. If firm enough to roll, move forward. Spray baking sheets with non-stick spray. Roll out your dough into 1 inch balls and place on baking sheet with little room to spread.

2. If you want plain cookies, dip fork into sugar, then imprint cross pattern on cookie balls, pressing only 1/4 inch max. Then bake your cookies for 10 minutes.

For kiss cookies, bake for 8 minutes, pull from oven, add your kisses, then return to oven for another 3 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool at least 15 minutes before removing from tray. Transfer to plates, and (optional) place in fridge for 20 minutes to cool.

Molasses Crinkles

Advertisements

These cookies are a soft and sugary cookie that has good flavor depth thanks to the warm spices and warm molasses. This recipe is a recipe I received from my In-laws, and is one of my husband’s favorite cookies. These cookies not only taste great, but they look great too. These are not your ordinary sugar cookies, but they are a must try, even just once! These are very flat cookies. They come out of the oven puffed up, but as it cools, it will flatten. Give the cookies 7-10 minutes before pulling them off their baking sheet. I also substituted butter for shortening, and the cookies came out the same! This recipe made 31 cookies.

Teriyaki Pork Butt Steak with Asian Noodles

Advertisements

This teriyaki sauce is absolutely delicious! This sauce is a great mix of sweet and savory, and would go great as a glazing for any fish, chicken, or pork. The pork is delicious and of course the main part of the dish, however, the real star of this dish is the Asian noodles. The noodles are filling, the onion adds a great subtle flavor to the dish, and the cabbage adds great texture, and while the flavor of the pepper is also subtle, the color it brings to the side is delicious! For this recipe, I used the second half of the pork steak I had from yesterday’s post, peanut pork curry. That gave us enough pork for 3 servings, however with how much pasta I made, we had 5 serving total. The pasta was also great on it’s own, and if you were to serve this for a big family, I would recommend cubing the pork, then tossing into the noodles. This recipe can easily make enough to serve 5 adults.

Slow Cooker Stuffed Cabbage with Sausage and Rice

Advertisements

Stuffed Cabbage, or pigs in a blanket, I’ve made before in the slow cooker. Last time, I used just beef, and that was very good. This time, to make it more traditionally, I added rice. Rice was originally added to stretch the filling to get more food cheaply. I also added some pork sausage. This added more spice to the stuffed cabbages. I also added beef broth to thin the sauce and cover the stuffed cabbages. It was another way to add more flavor than just water. I did make 10 stuffed cabbages with this recipe, but I made them very large, to the point where 1 to 1 1/2 stuffed cabbage was enough for 1 adult portion. These stuffed cabbages also freeze well. To freeze, transfer to a freezer safe container, cover with sauce, cover, label and freeze. Then they can be microwaved to reheat.

Place your second layer of pigs, then top with remaining sauce. Add beef broth, and carefully stir. Cook covered for at least 2.5 hours or until internal temp of 165 F is reached, best if cooked on high for 6 hours for cabbage to become fully tender.
