Super Good

My Mom's Peanut Butter Cookies.
Super Easy. Super soft, super good. And I added my own little spin on it instad of squishing them down a little with a sugared fork,I used 3 Ghirardelli ( yes I did have to copy and paste that) chocolate chips. I believe the 60% cocoa version.
357 Degrees. 7 minutes. Overbaking-no.
1/2 c. butter softened
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. br. sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 and 1/4 c. flour
Beat butterS for 30 seconds. Add sugars, soda, powder. beat( I like it to get a bit fluffy) Add egg and vanilla. Beat that in. Then add flour and beat that. I just do that till it's all blended good, I read online on some recipe for peanutbutter cookies to not overwork the dough... don't know if there's anything to that but I was mindful of that info. Roll into on inch balls. If you use the chips put 3 on top and squish it just half way down. Refer to the uncooked cookie pic. Or you can just dip a fork in some sugar and make a criss cross, squishing only halfway. So there you have it, they are so yummy and easy. (and yes I realize it's time for a new cookie sheet)

Pie, I say.

So here is my wonderful pie. Ha :) Mitch's mom has been toiling away in the evenings picking raspberries and brought us some on the 4th, I threw in a few blueberries I got from the produce area of our grocery store so here is the pie I made today so the berries would not go to waste!! This may not the be the most beautiful pie, it is by my low standards and I even took the time to put foil on the edges.. what IS my problem? :) Also the crust has no crisco a.k.a hydrogneated veg oil. So that's it, my pie, I should get a life, but I make, oh, one pie a year, so this is a big deal.
