I tried a new Christmas “cookie” this afternoon. I wanted to see if a short-cut cookie might be something to add to our list of favorites.
\nThe recipe used ready-made peanut butter cookie dough. You divide an 18 ounce tube of dough into 24 pieces and bake them in tart-sized muffin tins. During the last two minutes of cooking you press a rounded measuring spoon into the dough to create a well, then continue baking until the dough is golden.
\nThe peanut butter dough makes a tart base that holds a fudge filling.
\nIt seems to me that the tart is a bit thick. It makes quite a substantial cookie, perhaps one that men would like more than women. I know….that’s sexist. Don’t bother to point it out.
\nI’m going to freeze the tarts and then add the fudge the day before the cookies are given as gifts. I’ll have to see if the combination of the peanut butter base and the fudgy center will draw anyone back for seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
