  • Study praises Tea Party freshman Labrador for fiscal restraint
    The 2010 elections brought a wave of new blood to Congress, freshmen legislators from across the nation promising to rein in federal spending and regulatory reach as part of the Tea Party movement. A study released this week, however, suggests that rhetoric has not translated to reality for many of these newcomers. One exception to [...]
  • Idaho student will now be allowed to perform song originally deemed ‘too religious’
    Lena Whitmore Elementary School in Moscow, Idaho, has reversed its decision to bar a student from signing the song “We Fall Down.” According to FoxNews.com, the student auditioned for the school’s talent show, where she received praise from teachers.

  • Otter: Closed primary likely to be discussed at GOP convention
    Much was made leading up to the May 15 primary about it being a closed primary. Many worried that it would turn away voters and result in very few registered voters actually taking part. If the preliminary low primary vote numbers are any indication, the closed primary will be a discussion point for the GOP. As a [...]

PB & J Sandwich Cookies

Author: stebbijo

peanutbutterjamcookies

I have never made cookies without flour. This is a new endeavor and I had to check it out. I was watching the Nate Berkus show the other day and they profiled the Treat Truck. Her masterpieces looked too good to pass up and how nice that they shared the recipes without buying the cookbook, which I plan on doing anyway.

Here is the link and click "Read more" to get the recipe. Tried and true by me. However, I could not stand it, My peanut butter was really creamy so I added in about a 1/8 c. of flour. A cookie without flour? Nah.

Also, they bake very delicately, you may want to add a minute or two of extra cooking depending on your oven. These taste like one big mouthful of peanut butter and jelly. For serious peanut butter lovers, only.

PB & J Sandwich Cookies Makes 2 ½ to 3 dozen cookies (From Kim Ima's Treat Truck Sweets)

To Make Cookies

Ingredients 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups smooth peanut butter (without added sugar) 1 cup sugar ½ teaspoon salt Directions Preheat the oven to 325?F. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the eggs and vanilla. Set aside. Place the peanut butter in a large bowl and pour in the egg-vanilla mixture. Stir with a sturdy spoon or mix with your hands (really, it’s a great technique!) until combined. Add the sugar and salt and mix well. Scoop the dough with a spoon and roll it into balls with your hands. The size of the scoop of dough is up to you, depending on the size cookies you prefer (the dough doesn't spread much). Place the balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Pat the balls flat and use a fork to make crosshatch marks on the top of each cookie. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the centers look as light and baked as the edges. Cool completely before removing from the cookie sheet with a spatula.

To Make Filling Ingredients

½ to 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 cup smooth peanut butter (no sugar added) Jam of your choice Directions Put the brown sugar in a bowl and mash it with a fork to remove any lumps. Add the peanut butter and mix well with a sturdy spoon or your hands (I know! But just try it, you might like it!). Store in a covered container in the fridge until ready to use. This filling keeps very well and can be used over a few weeks. Note: Equal parts peanut butter and sugar is great, and so is 1 part sugar to 2 parts peanut butter. See which you like best! To make Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie With a spoon or your fingers, scoop a spoonful of peanut butter filling and place it on the underside of a cookie. I like to use my hands to make a little “peanut butter patty,” as if I were making a little hamburger on a bun. If you’re making a PB&J, spread jam on a second cookie. Top with the second cookie to make a sandwich.

  • Personal Attacks
    Mary Souza’s Newsletter   Anti Recall people have been slinging personal insults, calling childish names and organizing intimidation against local businesses.  They are trying to act big but, in truth, they are incredibly small. And at last Tuesday’s city council meeting, they even tried to blame the Recall effort for all the personal anger and vitriol.  [...]
  • Inclined to Intimidate
    Mary Souza’s Newsletter   There’s a long standing, but ugly tradition of intimidation in our town. It’s trying to smother the Recall effort right now and it’s trying to block the public’s right to vote. But this time the intimidators are not going to win. We have strength and safety in numbers, and thousands of [...]
  • “So You’ll Recall” — Tom Kane
    Wednesday night OpenCdA attended a meeting of about 50 community members to discuss the recall effort under way in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.   At the close of the meeting, a man with a soft, peaceful voice asked if he could read a poem he had composed. I wish everyone in Coeur d’Alene could have heard his [...]
