Y.U.M.

Wow, made these delicious 5-ingredient peanut butter treats last night and they are delicious! I just stumbled over a new favorite blog, Bakerella, who seems to make a ton of cupcakes, cookies, frostings, etc...and makes them all look simple!

If you love grandma's peanut butter cookies, but have misplaced your recipe, give these a try:

Combine 1 cup peanut butter with 1/2 cup sugar and one egg. Stir together and chill for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 325. Roll batter into 18 teaspoon-sized serving balls and drop on a cookie sheet (cover with tin foil for easy cleanup). Press fork in once, then rotate 90 degrees and press the tines in again. Bake for 18 minutes and let cool, then dip each end into melted semi-sweet chocolate and dredge in finely chopped peanuts.

YUM. Seriously. Super easy, super peanut buttery. And cute enough to gift, which I plan to do so I can get these little trouble makers out of my house.
The blog also has some reall fun ideas about cake lollipops (for lack of a better term). I'm dying to try them. Maybe Christmas presents? As for her discovery of slice-and-bake cupcakes? That's just scary...
