Peanut Butter and Honey Cookies

There is nothing quite like a good cookie, especially when it is well deserved. This week's recipe for peanut butter and honey cookies is dedicated to the Vanderbilt women's track and field for their successful completion of the 2011-2012 indoor track season. Great races were run, PR's were set, records were broken, and cookies were shared in celebration on the bus ride home. Combining seven simple ingredients, these cookies are great for any occasion and take very little time to prepare. All ingredients may be purchased in either Varsity Morgan or Varsity Towers. Based upon the calculated cost per serving of each ingredient, a batch of 35 cookies will cost you $7.54 or $0.22 per cookie. This does not include the cost of cooking spray.

Peanut Butter and Honey Cookies 
Yield: 35
Total Cost: $7.54 (does not include cost of cooking spray)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and honey. Stir in the eggs and peanut butter.
 

Sift together the flour and baking powder and blend into peanut butter mixture.


Shape dough into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Use a fork (spray with cooking spray) to form a criss cross pattern on tops of cookies. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

"Jo, it tastes like a childhood memory at Grandma's house."
"Woah, this is really good."
"I like how you can taste the honey because usually peanut butter is really strong."
