Ain't She Sweet

I would like to introduce everyone to a good friend of mine, Mrs. Kelly Sloat and her "Moptop" Cookies.

She is a wonderful and talented baker and a good friend and last night she introduced me to a fun new cookie idea.  Her peanut butter cookies are excellent stand alone, however, they are about to become all the more famous when paired with a double chocolate chip recipe that makes me Glad All Over.  Afterall, Happiness is a Warm cookie. Tell me what you see?

John, Paul, Ringo & George

  That's right! The Fab Four.  The one and only BEATLES.  What a great gift idea these would be for that Beatles fan in your life.  Kelly is a HUGE Beatles fan herself so it is no surprise that she would discover such a cute idea.  Not only that, but she is willing to share her recipe!

 MOPTOPS

Peanut Butter Cookie Side:

1 Cup peanut butter
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and place in the fridge.


Chocolate Chip Cookie Side:

2 sticks softened butter (1 Cup)
1 Cup granulated sugar
3/4 Cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 Cups flour
1 1/4 Cups cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter and sugars. Slowly beat in eggs and vanilla. Place flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl; mix with fork. Add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips.

2. Take a Tablespoon of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough and a Tablespoon of Chocolate Cookie Dough and gently press together. Place them on a lightly sprayed baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. (I like to pull them out a little early, when the tops are slightly cracking, and let them finish cooking on the baking sheet).

So there you have it!  A very big Thank you to Mrs. Sloat for this amazing idea! You see To Know er is to Love Her.  So put on your favorite Beatles album, do the Hippy Hippy Shake and get your baking on.
