Reese's Peanut Butter Cookies
The title of this post is also known as: "We Don't Need No Stickin' Chocolate Chips"
Although - that title is IRONIC, as the only thing we really needed WAS chocolate chips, hence - breaking into the hallowen candy to finish the cookie off.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup backed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extra - 3 if you love the stuff :)
2 cups WHOLE WHEAT flour and 1 cup white flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda DISSOLVED in 2 teaspoons of hot water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of crumbles or food processed REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
1 cup chopped pecans - or walnuts if you're lame :) - or none if you're allergic - which you shouldn't really make these if you are because you're going to use PEANUT BUTTER CUPS and PEANUT BUTTER :)
Here we go :)
This ain't yo' Gramma's shortening - but it IS the best baking butter I've found.
Le sigh.
One Side Liquids
One side dry stuff.
Both sides warm my heart.
Whip Butter and sugars together.
If you are an adult person you may have a BEAUTIFUL "we got married mixer" and I am jealous of you for that.
Big time.
LBF and I used a hand mixer, which he also found to be a lot of fun. :)
Yum, Yum, Yum. :)
Secret Ingredients
LBF LOVED opening these up and putting them in the food processor.
He may or may not have eaten a couple on the way
(*This worked out just fine considering Halloween was canceled due to the storm and rescheduled for next monday, we'll have plenty of time to get more candy.)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cream together butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Add to batter the baking soda/water mix and salt. Stir in flour, Peanut Butter Cups, and nuts. Roll into balls, and press with fork onto parchment paper on cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges look done. Beacause of the wheat flour, I just take them out at 11 minutes and lift the parchment paper off the sheet to the cooling rack.
We, LBF and I, added peanut butter with a little powered sugar mix to the bottom of the cookie.
And dipped it in granulated sugar.
And someone little devoured cookies before they were cool.
Oh, Miss Molly ;).
