This does not make food.

Candice and I decided we wanted peanut butter cookies. First stop: the recipe on the side of the jar of Kraft peanut butter. Second stop: Any other recipe, because:

Super Easy Kraft Peanut Butter Cookies


1. MIX together 1 cup KRAFT Smooth Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and an egg.
2. ROLL into balls and flatten with fork on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. BAKE at 325 F for 15 min. Do not over-bake. Makes about 24 cookies.

Shouldn’t there be some… flour in there? Or anything other than peanut butter, sugar, and an egg? That’s not so much “baking” as “cooking peanut butter”. I’m tempted to make a quarter-batch of those just to see how disturbing they are.

    Oh they’re tasty! Nice and soft. I hate crunchy cookies. Did you know putting a piece of white bread into your cookie container keeps em soft too?

    Your icon? Mister Happy Reflux Man? I am goggle-eyed.

    Also, I *must* try those cookies. Not because I expect them to be good, mind you.

    There’s probably enough filler in Kraft peanut butter already that adding extra flour is unnecessary.

    That’s scary.

    I can’t believe people are being so rude. This recipe tastes good. So what if it doesn’t use flour or something? why are you complaining and i bet right after you baked that quarter-batch you noticed how good these cookies actually are! hmph…GO KRAFT PEANUT BUTTER!
