PEANUT BUTTER BUCKEYES (LIKE REESES)

VERY BEST!

My sister Kimberly invented these delicious chocolate chip cookies. She's extremely talented and I've never had better cookies in my life! (nothing personally)

you will need:
2 sticks of butter ( 1 cup )
1/2 C sugar
1 C brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract or imitation vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 C flour

Start by preheating your oven to 375 Fahrenheit.
Get out two cubes of butter. Put them in the your mixer, and mix until their soft and almost creamy. Pour your sugar into the bowl. when you do you brown sugar, pack it down, it should retain it's shape when you dump it out. Mix this. Put in your vanilla and eggs and mix it. stop for a minute and scrape the edges of the bowl with a spoon. Now comes the baking powder and salt, mix. OK now when we add the flour, if we mix it mix it, it'll poof across the kitchen; so wee need to switch it on and off , yes that's geto but it works! Once that's all done just add as many chocolate chips as you want! There's your dough now lets bake 'em. roll them into balls. when you bake these cookies they naturally spread out so give each cookie a little room. Squish each ball down a tiny bit whith a spoon popit into the oven and let them bake for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.

love,
