Peanut Butter Cookies & A Few Giggles

Children have such a natural joy within them. Just being around them you can see it constantly bubbling to the surface in smiles and giggles and silly jokes. Sometimes they burst into spontaneous song about My little ponies, what they had for breakfast, or nothing at all. Makes me smile just to think about it. The joy of a child is entirely unhindered.

They keep us young, but mostly they remind us that the very same joy they have is still present in us. Its just that over the years it gets buried beneath responsibilities and concerns, all the seriousness of life that draws our attention away from that little bubbling well where giggles are born. When was the last time you burst into song or giggled with a friend? Some folks have a natural ability to bring this out in us and chances are you have someone like that in your life. I hope you read this and think of them, call them up, and set a date to get together and regress really soon.

Just in case you don’t have that option, I hope you’ll enjoy the giggles i’m going to share in this post today and then add a few of your own. Because, for a lot of us today, you are going to be the friend that makes us giggle.

This is a recipe that I’ve wanted to bring you for a while. I’ve been making these for close to ten years now and though I’ve tried other peanut butter cookie recipes, I always come back to this as my standard – my husband’s all time favorite. I like to make a big batch of them if we’re going on a weekend trip to do double duty as filling snacks and treats for whoever it is we’re visiting with. I hope you get to give them a try and if you have any little people in your life, invite them to bake these with you because kids make everything taste better.

Now to start us off, I found the following little joke and couldn’t help but laugh – thought you’d enjoy it, too!

A little boy decided to surprise his grandmother and make her a cup of coffee. He was so proud as he brought it to her in bed and although it was quite possibly the worst cup of coffee she’d ever had, she raved on and on about it. Beaming with pride, he waited patiently for her to drink it all, giving her no choice but to force it down. Once she reached the bottom she was surprised to find two little green army men in the bottom of her cup.

“Honey, why are your little army men in the bottom of my cup?”

He replied, “You know grandma, it’s like on TV. ‘The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup’.”

You’ll need: Shortening, all purpose flour,white sugar, eggs, brown sugar, peanut butter, baking soda, flour, and a little white pony with pink  hair*.

*Katy added that last ingredient, it is entirely optional.

In this post I’m going to be making a double batch but I’m showing you the ingredients here for a single recipe. If you get to wondering why there appears to be twice as much in the rest of the photos, that’s because I don’t know the last time I made a single batch of cookies. I’ll make a single batch when I run out of folks who like treats.

I’m gonna do a tutorial on my canisters soon, I promise!

So what we’re gonna do is dump everything  except the flour into a large bowl, or in my case my old trusty red dishpan.

Mix that up really well with an electric mixer – unless you have massively muscled arms. I’ll be using a mixer…

I added my eggs, honest. They were just a little camera shy. Eggs are like that sometimes but its a little secret only food bloggers know about. See? You’re in the circle of trust now…

Patient: “Doc, you have to help me. Some days I think I’m Mickey Mouse, some days I think I’m Donald Duck”

Doctor: “How long have you had these Disney spells?”

Remember that you forgot your vanilla..

(that sentence is a bit strange but work with me here)

Add in flour, mix again.

I ran five miles today. Finally, I had to say, “OK Lady, here’s your purse back.”

Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

Katy asked me the other day “Mama, I think I might be a doctor when I grow up, but can I still be a Mama, too?” I assured her that a lot of people are Mamas and other things as well. With that fear assuaged she moved on to the next, which was apparently much more pressing judging by the look of anxiety on her face when she asked “But whose going to help get me dressed in the mornings?”

Your dough will be a little crumbly looking like this. Use a cookie scoop or just your hands and make balls that are about an inch and a half in size and place on cookie sheets about two inches apart.

Now y’all know I don’t care for kitchen gadgets all that much and normally I’d say “Why use a dough scoop when your hands work perfectly well?” but after making three and four hundred peanut butter balls at at time, I’m a believer in the dough scoop. I actually own two of them because Katy likes to help and my kids really love peanut butter balls!

I read a book on helium once. I couldn’t put it down!

Take a bowl and put a little extra granulated sugar in it.

Here is where most folks just use a fork but if you have a potato masher like I do, it works like a charm. Dip it in sugar…

Boy Scouts from the city were on a camping trip. The mosquitoes were so fierce, the boys had to hide under their blankets to avoid being bitten. One of them saw some lightning bugs and said to his friend, “We might as well give up. They are coming after us with flashlights.”

and mash down slightly on a dough ball..

Then dip in sugar again

This one reminds me of my longtime friend, Michael, so I couldn’t resist…

Father: I hear you skipped school to play football
Son: No I didn’t, and I have the fish to prove it!

and repeat, continuing to dip in sugar in between each one.

You don’t want to completely smoosh them, just mash them down a bit to get a nice criss cross design.

You can also do this with a long tined fork, mash one way and turn your fork and mash the second.

Remove them from cookie sheet and place on cooling racks or just a plate (or clean countertop) to cool. Eat at least one warm though!

Eat one with a glass of milk and see if you can giggle enough to shoot milk out your nose ~grins~

Hey, we all gotta have goals in life.

Do you have any cute or silly jokes to share?

How about something your kids (or grandkids) said that just tickled you?

We’d love for you to share below! *

    My daughter said “I know you love me Mommy, but you are not the kind of mommy I was looking for”

    • LOL They are honest, aren’t they?
      Brady told me once, when he was riding in the first float in a preschool parade “Mama, they’re gonna put me right up front because I have blonde hair and it makes people happy to see blonde hair.”

      So I said “Really? Do you think they’ll be happy to see me too, then?”

      He looked at me with the most pitying expression and shook his head gravely “No Mama, you don’t have blonde hair. Your hair is kinda yellow and its pretty and all but – it kinda makes people feel sick to see people with yellow hair so you better stay in the back.”

      ~blinks~
      No idea where that came from but I had a giggle

      • Michael

        OMG I would have a conniption if that were me! hehe

        • This is the same kid who told me last week “Mom, you kinda need to get some smaller clothes because yours are kinda too big for you now”.

          All is redeemed :)

          • Wanda

            I wish I had to get smaller clothes! HA!

            Here’s a true story for you!

            When my son was a little fellow, in our church we would sing “Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest”.
            Years later he told me that he always thought we were singing “O Santa, O Santa” and he wondered why we were singing to Santa and where was the highest!
            Santa was supposed to be at the North Pole!
            Another part of the liturgy said “Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord” and somehow his little ears heard it as “Bless Tennessee”! He could not figure out why we were blessing Tennessee so much if we lived in Texas! From the mouths of babes!

            You will be happy to know that this little boy is a fine man today, and has two little girls of his own!

            • Su

              I used to think “Hosanna” was “Susanna”. They really need to do something about that Hosanna words. It throws a lot of people off. ;-)
              Hehehe

  2. Michael

    LOVE the jokes!!! Had me giggling!!!

    I see you really do stick to your guns that you’ll use either dark or light brown sugar…there’s both in one scoop in that photo!! hehe BTW, I like your potato masher idea! So much easier than using a fork. lol

    Ok, so my joke…

    How many elephants can you fit in a VW Bug?

    Well four of course! Two in the front and two in the back!

    I know…lame but it was the only one I could think of. lol

  3. Claire

    SO CLEVER to use the potato masher! Ingenious!

    Oh, and BTW Christy, I LOVE the new jars you’re using in the pictures for flour and sugar … and you even have one for Cookies!!!

    And I got a special giggle out of the My Little Pony who even made the photo shoot today! That silly Katy Rose!

    Have a wonderful day, dahlin’! Yet another item to add to my ever-expanding list of “Great Things To Do With My Kids”!!!

  4. Elaine Raye

    Making peanut butter cookies is one of my earliest kitchen memories because my mom let me make the tine marks. She always mad eme feel like I did it better than anyone. Building self confidence in kids is as important as feeding them. Feeling special and capable is a stepping stone of life.

  5. Amy E

    So convienent that you post this cookie recipe. March is National Peanut month or at least my son came home from Kindegarten with a note saying that! LOL!!! Little random information that you didn’t know before. Don’t you just love Kindegarten! LOL!!!

  6. Lawanna

    My son made me a Mother’s Day card when he was 6. (He’s 11 now) He wrote on it “Happy Mother’s Day! I love you a hole much!” It still hangs on my refrigerator to this day. I told my husband I’m saving it for future girlfriends—because they will have to be pretty durn special for him to love them “a hole much”!!

  7. Ann L

    My joke contribution:

    Q: What do you call a chocolate covered sheep?

    A: A Hershey baa!

  8. JETT2WHIT

    Peanut butter cookies are my absolute favorite!!

  9. Dawn Ganoe

    Oooh, may have to go home and make cookies now! Peanut butter cookies are probably my favorite. My recipe is similar, except I had a bit of maple syrup. Yum!!
    The conversation below occurred between my 4yr old daughter and I on the way to pre-school this morning….you just never know what they are going to come up with!!
    Sydney: Mommy, when did you and Daddy get married? Me: almost 18 yrs ago, honey. Sydney: what’s 18 years? Me: a long time ago, babe. Sydney: so you were married before the dinosaurs were extincted?

  10. My husband’s favorite joke (we’re both kids at heart):

    Did you hear about the peanuts on the subway?
    One was assaulted.

    If you don’t get it, you might need to say it out loud. :)

    Btw, peanut butter cookies are my husband’s favorite treat!

  11. Sherry Wilkins

    Well, finally I found someone else that uses a potato masher for their cookies. I have been doing that for years but never have heard anyone else using that idea! Great minds think alike. Tehe!

  12. mama Jane

    I have to tell off on my oldest granddaughter Sydney who is now 14. We were at church when she was about 3, and the pastor was saying the closing prayer. he was reaaaally long winded that day. He paused one time and Sydney raised her head up fixing to pick up her baby doll and GO! He started up again and she sighed, very loudly. People started snickering around us. When he finally said “amen”, Syd said very loudly, “Halla-YOU-yah!” Everyone for three rows lost it after that one.

  13. Elizabeth Hosto

    Last night I had book club at my house and my 5 year old will talk to anyone about anything and never shut up so as the first ladies arrived he starts talking them up about everything. One of them asks,”are you in kindergarten?” he looks at her shakes his head and announces, “no, I am in Washington” pointing to the huge map on the wall. I love my boys!

  14. Hey Christy – The next time you make these yummy looking peanut butter cookies, throw in some chocolate chips or even M&Ms – That makes them even better, even tho it is tough to improve on a good peanut butter cookie!!!

  15. Fantastic recipe! I think I might be making some of these today – the kids will love having some yummy cookies around the house. :)

    My son, Daniel, is well known in our house for saying outrageously funny things. Here are some of my favorites:

    I walk by his room, he’s laying on the floor playing with dragon stickers. He’s wearing my least favorite of his shirts, a red mesh shirt with no sleeves.

    “Son, could you please change your shirt? I really don’t like that one.”

    “Why?” he asks.

    “Because it shows your armpits,” I explain.

    “What’s wrong with my armpits? I wash them the most!”

    He changed his shirt after I stopped laughing. Guess which shirt he put on… my second least favorite. You just gotta love the boy!

    The other day he was trying to get his little sister to share her drink with him and she wasn’t really too thrilled about it. He got pretty fed up and said, “Vivian! We share the same molecules!”

    And one of my all-time favorites was when he told me: “Hey mom, you know how you can tell someone’s going to have wrinkles because they smile a lot? You are going to have A LOT of wrinkles.”

    LOL!

  16. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SITE & have added you to my blog!

  17. LOVE YOUR SITE!! ADDED YOU TO MY BLOG!

  18. I’d so LOVE to bake with Children but I never know how long to cook them…

  19. Cheryl

    My ISP says you are spam even if I do have you on the approved list. So… I just go to spam each day for my daily dose of Christy and a fresh approach to life. I’ve even hooked my media friends on you now. Keep it up Christy! Love the masher idea and it sure will help arthritic hands. Cookie baking is my granddaughters’ favorite activity with Grandma Cheryl, especially Kaylee. Think it has to do with the letter K?

  20. Barbara Pray

    If you had asked me what made the marks on the top of the cookies, I don’t think I ever would have come up with a masher!

    Elephant joke: How can you tell when there is an elephant under your bed??
    You can smell the peanuts on his breath.

    Grandson story: We had visited the grandchildren (they live on the other side of the US from us) and we had given each of them $100 to spend – on the last night there, the youngest (Keegan) says to me, “grandma, I know I spent the money you gave me, but if I had it, I would give it all back if you would just stay a little longer.
    AWWWWW…yeah, he’s in the will

    • Vickie

      I love that! Kids are so sweet. My 2-year old, totally unprompted, told my mother-in-law “Thank you for coming, Ma” as she was packing up after her recent visit. She had tears in her eyes.

  21. Valerie

    Can’t wait to try your recipe, and I looooove those canisters!
    Here’s a joke my son told me when he was three:
    “Knock, Knock.” (Who’s there?) “Me!”
    He then collapsed onto the floor in a gale of giggles!

  22. Deanie

    I can’t wait to make these cookies! Thanks for sharing the recipe and the jokes! :D

    Here’s my joke:

    A little boy goes into church and sees a plaque with all of these little American flags on it. He asks: “Preacher what are all of these little red flags for?” Preacher says, Child those flags represent the people who died in the service.” The little boy stands there a while and then he shakily asks, “Which service, the 8:30 or the 11:00?”

    :D

  23. Jenn D

    My 4 year-old daughter and I made some of your M&M cookies for Valentine’s Day . . . after eating way, way too many I told her that we’d had enough and needed to stop. Of course she wanted to know why so I told her she’d end up with a big ol’ belly like her momma if she kept eating them. She replied, “Oh momma, you don’t have a big belly . . . it’s your bottom that’s so big!!!”

  24. Michelle

    Ok, here’s my silly joke for the day…
    What do you call cheese that does not belong to you?

    Nacho cheese!!

    Get it?

  25. April in CT

    I got a phone call from my hubby shortly after reading this post and I said to him as dead pan as I could “I just read a book about helium and I couldn’t put it down” and he replied “Wait, you read a book about heli…” then started laughing. He said at first the shock of hearing me say I read about helium was too much for him to process! LOL My joke contribution:

    I taught my pig karate, now he’s doin’ pork chops!

  26. Shannon

    I will try this recipe, it sounds so good!

    Out of the mouth of Babes….My best friend Staci’s children were in the living room while she was in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Her three children are Kaylan (girl, 8) Elijah (boy, 5 1/2) and Malachi (boy, just turned 3). Below is the the funniest dialogue I have ever heard at her house (and trust me on any given day there are some whoppers):

    Elijah: Mama, tell Kaylan to sit down and act like a lady!
    Kaylan: Elijah stop being a tattle tale!
    Elijah: Kaylan sit down and learn some respect for your brother!
    Malachi: Mama, are you cooking bacon?
    Staci: Yes Malachi.
    Malachi: Mama, I don’t eat pork; can I have sausage instead?

    And this just-turned-three year old absolutely refused to eat the bacon but wolfed down 5 sausage patties. Go figure. We still don’t know where he learned the muslim-like view of pork….but it sure was funny!

  27. Nancy L.

    Love the recipe & the jokes. My favorite joke came from the guy at the bagel shop.

    What do you call a chicken coop with four doors?
    A chicken sedan.

  28. Mandy

    These look sooo yummy! I have a VERY simple peanut butter cookie recipe that requires NO flour. Thats right, no flour, very easy, and very yummy!!! You cant even tell they dont have flour in them and they are very moist. I LOVE all your recipes and will be trying out more as soon as my kitchen is finished!

  29. Carol

    Thanks for more wonderful treats! Here’s a joke, one of my 3rd graders told me:

    Q– “Why did Tigger stick his head in the toilet?”

    A– “He was looking for Pooh!”

    BTW have you ever been to this website http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/
    if not when you get a chance go take a gander…

    Take care!

  30. Brandy

    This is probably the most inappropriate place (food website) to repeat what my son said when he was two, but it was so funny to me I’ve repeated it dozens of times.

    Last March, the leprechaun visited our house and made a huge mess and turned all sorts of things green. Now, skip to this past November (8 months after the leprechaun visit). My son was in the bathroom and called me in to tell me something. I walked in and he pointed to what was in the potty and said completely seriously, “I guess the leprechaun did it!” I’m sure I don’t have to mention what was exactly green. I laughed so hard and still do every time I think about.

    Now for my silly joke:

    Me: Knock Knock
    You: Who’s there?
    Me: Interrupting Cow
    You: Interrupting C… (I interrupt you with a loud “MOOOOO”)

  31. Louise Rallings

    Christi,

    Love your site! Just finished baking the Peanut Butter cookies. My husband and I had two warm cookies each.We are in our late sixties and have eaten quite a few cookies in our time, these are the best peanut butter cookies we ever ate! Keep up the good work. I love how you cherish Mom, Dad and family. Has anyone tried them using Splenda? Your Southern humor ain’t bad either! You go girl! Ihave lived in S.C. my entire life.

  32. Julie

    What do you get when you cross a potato chip and a chipmunk?

    A potato chipmunk.

    My 7 yr old made that up.

  33. Tamela

    Ooh, these are some good looking cookies and funny jokes.

    Here’s another one.

    Why was the skeleton afraid to cross the road?

    Because he didn’t have the guts!!!! HA! HA! HA!

  34. Terri go Dawgs

    This post is tons o’ fun! Thanks for the recipe and laughter ….I just love Southern Plate! Katy has THE funniest things that she says. Love the one about the soldiers in your cup.

    So my Grandmama told me the story about Grandaddy. Seems my young Mama and her little sister were in their bedroom, loudly fighting over the paper dolls.
    Grandmama said “Herman, go speak to those kids!!!”
    Grandaddy walked over to their doorway, stood there and said, deadpan, “Howdy”.

    :P

  35. Mrs. Welch

    What has two horns, four legs and goes “Oom, oom”?

    A cow walking backwards!

  36. Rhonda Singleton

    Blonde joke alert!!

    How can you tell when a blonde has been making chocolate chip cookies?

    You find the M & M shells all over the floor!!! ;-)

    I will making these peanut butter cookies tonight along with my homemade cheeseburgers and fries! Yum!

  37. Brandy

    Another blonde joke alert:

    2 blonde women walk into a restaurant carrying an 8×10 framed picture and were chanting excitedly “55 days! 55 days!” A few minutes later, a few of their blonde friends come in chanting “55 days! 55 days!” When the waiter finally came over, he asked why they were so excited. One of the women gestured to the frame and said, “This puzzle said 2-3 years on the box and we did it in 55 days!”

    Enjoy!

  38. Tom N

    I was sitting in the exam room at my doctor’s office. I examined the height vs weight chart and discovered that I am 11 inches too short. I’m going to have to cut back on the peanut butter cookies (after the next batch).

  39. I would love to be able to try this recipe, but we have nut allergies in our house :(

    As for Katy Rose’s “pony”, my gonna-be-four-on-Monday little girl informes me that that one is “a unicorn NOT A PONY.” Just thought I’d share my knowlegdge. ;)

    • Michael

      Beverly,

      I know some people who have found that while they are allergic to peanuts they’re not allergic to other nuts…this opens up other possibilities such as almond butter. I can’t think of it off the top of my head but there is a peanut butter substitute (all natural) which tastes almost exactly like it and is safe for those with allergies. May want to look for it and see if it works in these cookies.

      • Thanks. He is actually allergic to tree nuts (hopefully, growing out of it because the two he is allergic to are my favorites.) It is easier to tell him (now 6 years old) to avoid all nuts and that way he doesn’t have to remember which ones or worry about cross-contamination in processing.

        I think you are talking about Sunbutter. I have looked for it at a few stores around here, but haven’t found it. I wanted to try just one container instead of having to get a whole case.

        Thanks for the suggestions.

      • Joann Drye

        Its soynut butter and Walmart carries it and it works just fine as a substitute in any recipe and after you eat one jar of it you will never miss peanutbutter again… its Great Value brand,, not expensive..

    A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.

    After explaining the commandment to ‘Honor thy father and thy mother,’ she asked, ‘Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?’

    Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, ‘Thou shall not kill.’

  41. Darlene

    Since today’s recipe uses peanut butter, I thought I would share a little diddly I sang to my kids and now sing to my grand-kids and great-grandson.

    A peanut sat on a railroad track,
    Its heart was all aflutter.
    Along came the 8:15,
    Toot toot, peanut butter!

  42. Lori B.

    Mmmmm! Love peanut butter cookies and idea of using potato masher!!

    Now, for my funny….when my daughter was in 1st grade before Valentine’s Day the teacher had them cut out big red hearts…in the middle of the heart, they wrote “I love…” the all around they names all the different things they loved. She listed mommy, daddy, bubby, cats, dogs, horses, etc. and beer!?!?!?!? Of course, when I looked at it, the only this I saw was BEER. I could tell they had been hung up and was shocked that the teacher had allowed it to be displayed. I was really curious what possessed my daughter to choose “beer” as something she listed that she loved, so I asked her to read it off to me. She read, ” mommy, daddy, bubby, cats, dogs, horses and deer.” Whew!!! (it was just a problem in getting lower case b’s and d’s mixed up….but why couldn’t it have been switched in dogs or bubby!?!?!?)

    Just a quick funny from a former coworker who was a stay at home mom at the time of the story. They had asked her daughter in kindergarten what she wanted to be when she grew up and she wanted to be a “homewrecker” like her mom. (she was meaning a homemaker!)

    Kids can be SO funny!!!

    Loved everyone’s jokes and stories!

  43. Pam

    When my youngest son was around 8-9 he asked me when the world got color in it because he knew that when I was a child television was in black and white. I thought this was so cute and it meant that he was a deep thinker. He is now 27 years old.

    What do you call a chloroform rabbit? The ether bunny. It’s the only joke I can remember.

  44. LeAnn Richard

    My 17-year old daughter still snorts and tears up every time she tells this one (assuming she can tell it):

    What do you call cheese that’s not yours???

    Nacho cheese!!!

    Gotta love it.

  45. Linda M

    When my youngest son was in 4-year old kindergarten, they learned a Bible verse that began with the letter of the alphabet they were studying that week. For example, “A – All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Everything was great until he got to Q, when they learned just a portion of the verse, since it needed to start with a Q: 1 Corinthians 16:13 “…quit you like men, be strong.”

    When I got home with him the day he learned that one, it was a pretty spring day and everyone was outside working in yards and enjoying the sunshine, including his father. I told Ben, “Tell Daddy your new verse you learned today.” So Ben proudly yelled to his Dad, so everyone in the neighborhood could hear, “Quit liking men. Be strong!”

  46. What did one T-shirt say to the other T-shirt? Nothing, everybody knows T-shirts don’t talk.

    Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to other Slide.

    My kids love those two.

  47. Hope

    When my 2-year-old granddaughter was at the house this week, we were sitting on the couch. Out of the blue she said, We know two people who have donkeys. I said, Really, who? And she said, Jesus and Shrek. I love the way their minds work :D .

  48. Here’s one for ya-
    Knock Knock
    Who’s there?
    Cantelope.
    Cantelope who?
    Can’t elope tonight, Dad’s got the car !!!!

    A great big “THANKS A BUNCH” to all of you for sharing these funnies! After a VERY intense week, this has been as refreshing as a summer rain. God bless you all. Have a great week!
    And in the spirit of the post, “What do you get when you pour boiling water down a rabbit hole? A hot cross bunny!”
