Rejoice!! Rejoice!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Here's a little prezzy for ya--This recipe is from The Sweet Potato Queens' Big Ass Cookbook (and Financial Planner)  by Jill Conner Browne.

(I didn't get permission to reprint this recipe, but Jill, surely you know that recipes as good as these are bound to become public domain...and besides, i am plugging your book!!)

I highly recommend this cookbook, have never made anything out of it that wasn't fabulous.  I even make stuff from this cookbook to take to gatherings without testing them first--the recipes are THAT GOOD!!!  But it is not for the diet conscious.  Most all recipes involve either butter (and that is BUTTER, NOT margarine) or bacon.  And there are very strict rules about using dark (not light) brown sugar and real vanilla in running over measurements.  But hey, life is short...drive fast and eat cheese.

This is the most requested and fastest disappearing cookie in my repertoire.

Mimi's Butterfinger Cookies

Combine:

1 c sugar

1  1/3 c dark brown sugar

1 stick butter

4 eggs

3 t vanilla

Add:

2 1/2 c chunky peanut butter

Combine:

2 c flour

1 t baking soda

1/2 t salt

Add dries to wets

Chop up 20 oz of butterfingers and add.

Drop and bake on lightly greased sheet or parchment, or make a slice-and-bake roll and freeze (recipe makes a big batch, so i usually bake half and freeze half, dough freezes really well, and later on you can be a hero in 15 minutes or less.)

I wish for all of you the Peace that is of The Gift we are given, if we only choose to accept it.

Merry Christmas
