Kraft Peanut Butter Truck is Making the Rounds

(Photo supplied by Kraft Canada)

I've already mentioned that Kraft Peanut Butter is turning 51!  Which is cool all on its own, but then a package arrived from the people at Kraft Canada who are always looking for great ways to provide nourishing products.... one of our favorites being peanut butter...and celebrating PB's birthday by sending the Kraft Peanut Butter Truck  across Canada

I was lucky enough to receive a lovely gift....some jars of peanut butter (whipped, creamy and crunchy) and some very tasty treats

Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwiches

I knew my grandson didn't invent the concept of grilled peanut butter sandwiches when I gave him two choices - grilled cheese OR a peanut butter sandwich for lunch (both his favorite options).  The little scientist ... very into experimenting as you can see from the photo below...

A Tale of Two Peanut Butter Cookies

When the cutest four year old says "Grandma... can we make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies?"... What else could I do? I took out my copy of Norene's Healthy Kitchen ( a great book) and found just the one. Especially good, because by the time we got to my house, he forgot that WE were supposed to bake cookies. He preferred hanging out at the computer in the kitchen and chatting while I baked and he played games.

The amazing thing about Norene's recipe is the fact that it only had 3 ingredients - 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 3/4 cup of sugar and 1 large egg... we added the chocolate chips. Admittedly, I was sceptical... no flour? ... no baking soda? As you can see above... by the time I got the camera out, there were only 2 cookies left.... out of two dozen! I obviously needn't have worried.
That said, the cookies got me thinking about the ones my mother used to make when I was a kid and in flipping through my cookbooks, I found one that, although it has oatmeal and chocolate chips, it does come closer to mind. Perhaps it's the flour & baking soda. The book... Kitchen Sense (another awesome book) .

Peanut Butter Oatmeal & Chocolate Chip Cookies

How do you like your peanut butter cookies? Actually... I really prefer oatmeal cookies without the peanut butter. That said, I still managed to eat a half dozen in the writing of this post. Oh how one suffers for their art!
