Peanut Butter!

Hey! Liana bugged me to update, so here you go.

Remember that banana sugar cookie recipe from a while ago? Well, I made those cookies again, but this time filled them with peanut butter. Let me tell you, they were delicious! So, here is the recipe (add this to the cookie recipe because I'm not going to re-post)

Peanut Butter Filling:
Peanut butter (the bad, corn syrup kind, not the natural stuff)
Powdered sugar

Start with a cup or two of peanut butter, and add an equal amount of powdered sugar, and mix. After a little bit, it will get difficult to mix with a spoon, so just use your hands. The mixture should be extremely stiff and taste, well, like really sweet peanut butter. If it's still really sticky, add more powdered sugar.

Now, after you make the dough for the banana cookies, divide up the banana cookies into balls of 2tbsp each. Divide up the peanut butter into little balls of about 2tsp each. Put a ball of the banana cookie dough in the palm of your hand and squish it with the heel of your hand so that it's kind of flat and round, but the edges curve up a bit, like a shallow bowl. Then pace a ball of the peanut butter mixture in the middle and flatten it a bit with your thumb. Fold over the edges of the banana cookie bowl, and press them together to seal the cookie. Place the cookie on a cookie sheet, seam side down. Do this for each cookie, and bake each tray for around 8 to 10 minutes. (350 degrees) Viola! You now have peanut butter filled cookies.

So, for all of you who actually read this blog, if you ever get fed up with me not posting in a while, just IM me or something and tell me to do so, because apparently I suck at doing it on my own. I promise I have recipes, I'm usually just too lazy or too forgetful to post. Happy baking!!
