Cooking Recipe Cooking Articles >>How I Made Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies In Simple, Super Easy Steps
by Kori Puckett
I was sitting there watching one of my favorite tv shows when a cookie craving hit me. As I watched one of the main characters take her chocolate chip cookies off the baking sheet, I drooled at the prospect of some freshly baked cookies.
I wanted something that was easy, quick, and didn't require me to go out and buy ingredients. So I searched the Internet, figuring peanut butter cookies would do the trick. I was surprised to find a peanut butter cookie recipe that didn't require flour. In fact, it didn't require many ingredients at all.
My curiousity peaked, I tried it out:
Flourless, 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1 cup sugar (or 3/4 cup, if you prefer)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
Combine sugar and egg in mixing bowl, stirring until smooth. Add peanut butter and mix thoroughly. Roll into walnut-sized balls.
Place the balls on ungreased cookie sheet(s) at least 2" apart. Flatten with the tines of a fork, then turn the 90 degrees and use fork again t create cross hatches.
Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or until done). Let cool in pan for 1 minute before removing to cooling rack. Leaving them on the sheet for too long will make them hard.
Yes, the cookies are soft after they come from the oven. I don't know how long they stay soft out in the open though, as I had a couple of cousins come over while they were baking and we all pretty much destroyed the cookies.
Still, if you plan on keeping them (or any other type of cookies for that matter) for a while, then put a slice of bread on the bottom of an air tight container and place the cookies on top. If you have any cookies left when the bread gets hard, replace the piece of bread.
I hope you try this peanut butter cookie recipe and love it. I know I'll be pulling this one out whenever a cookie craving hits me again.
Meal Planning Help: Meal Two
by Monica Resinger
One meal planning challenge for me has been to `lighten up' for my family's and my health. My husband and I were both raised on `meat and potatoes' so it has been a difficult change. But we are making gradual progress.
One way to lighten up is by substituting ground turkey for ground beef. To us, this is a huge taste difference and hard to get used to when we're used to the ground beef flavor. However, I have found recipes made especially for ground turkey and they are much better. The `Turkey Medallions With Orange Teriyaki Sauce' recipe you'll find below is one such recipe. It is delicious and is almost a complete meal by itself with the meat and vegetables. But to round the meal out and make it more filling, serve it with `Hawaiian Bread'

Helen's No Fuss Breakfast
by Helen Porter
No fuss breakfast - recipe makes one - I would suggest 2 per serving
There are few things better than the traditional 'full english' breakfast. Sometimes, however, it is simply too much trouble. Here's a tasty alternative that will make your guests look at your culinary skills in a new light, and will involve you in minimal work, and less wahing up!
Take 1 slice of quality Ham (smoked or honey roast works best), a large egg and grated parmesan cheese
You will need a Le Creuset cook n' bake tray for this dish. Why not use www.helensrecipes.com search to find a retailer. You need to buy the Silicone 6 Cup Muffin Pan, Volcanic.
Line the hole tray with a gently layer of butter

Helen's Homemade Sheperds Pie
by Helen Porter
Shepherd's pie (or 'cottage pie' it should more properly be called - real 'shepherds pie' is made with lamb!) is one of the all-time favorite 'comfort' foods. On a cold winter's night, nothing is as welcome as a big plate of well made shepherd's pie, with some crusty bread - or at least that's what we believe here at www.helensrecipes.com!. And making it is nowhere near as difficult as you might imagine - in fact, I actually know MEN who can make a passable shepherd's pie! :-) . Let's begin with the ingredients.
500g Leaned Beef Mince
1 white and 1 red Onion - diced
Carrot, washed and diced
Portobello Mushroom, 1/2 large diced
Worcester Sauce - few dashes are needed
