PB chocolate cookies

Leftover uses!

I am using up some pb/marshmallow/chocolate squares I make every year, but this works just as well with Reese PB cups.

Cookie dough: (Blue Ribbon Chocolate Vhip Cookies ~ Mrs fields Cookie Book ~ pg 10)

In a large bowl with an electric mixer blend 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 1/2 cup white sugar with 1 cup room temperature margarine/butter at medium speed. Add 2 eggs and 2tsp vanilla JUST until blended. Do not overmix.

Add 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda 1nd 1/4 tsp salt on low speed.

In microwave in a bowl warm up your pb/chocolate (depending on you microwave) for 35 seconds. Not to melting, just until soft. ***You can include some stale mini marshmallows at this time too! Just add to the chocolate when you start. They added a lovely texture.

Quickly dump into cookie dough, and mix at low. I needed to use a wooden spoon as mine got pretty thick (I used a lot of chocolate and marshmallow!).

Using a cookie scoop, place 15 balls onto a non stick cookie sheet. Mine did not spread too much.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. My oven was closer to 10-15. Take these out when you look at them and think, "oh, a couple more minutes" because they burn very quickly.

There is not an overpowering PB taste, but I liked them....drizzling them with melted chocolate would be a lovely finishing touch!


"Bon Appetit!"

Leftover Scalloped Potato Soup

-
Want a use for leftover scalloped potatos? Make soup. After a holiday meal I always use up my leftover ham and make scalloped potatoes and ham with brocolli, but this year, I made too much! Now what? Scalloped potato soup... I found this online. 4 cups leftover scalloped potatoes 1 cup cubed ham (optional) **NOTE: I added some leftover bacon(cubed) as well. 4 cups chicken broth 1 tablespoon garlic powder salt and pepper to taste 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Directions Place the scalloped potatoes and ham into a large pot, and pour in enough chicken broth to cover the potatoes completely. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. This sticks to the bottom of the pot easily, so I heated well and transfered to a crock pot to keep hot. Stir in the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, and simmer for about 10 minutes. or In crockpot mix liquid and seasonings, throw the leftovers in the crockpot before work so supper is ready
