Peanut Butter Cookies

I think I will make up for lost time and post one more today. This is my favorite Peanut Butter Cookie. I've had it in my Box since I was a teenager and have no idea where I got it from. With the price of peanut butter on the rise again (it is double what it was one year ago), whenever possible buy it in bulk size. If I could get a 5 gallon bucket for a sweet low price, you can bet I would be first in line or at least near the top 10 or so. Then the family would be in pbc heaven. I'd have every kid on the block in my backyard.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 Cup Shortening
1/2 Cup Honey
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Egg
1 1/4 Cups Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
3/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven 375F

Blend shortening, honey, sugar, pb, and egg in a large bowl. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt separately. Gradually add dry ingredients to creamed mixture.
Roll dough in balls. Place at least 3 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten with fork dipped in flour. Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Cassoulet

It's been quite awhile since I last put together a batch of Cassoulet. So much so that I have forgotten it was an all day thing, even using the quick soak method for dried beans. While they are getting cool enough to place in the fridge, I will post the recipe here. As with the previous post regarding Bean Prep, this recipe also comes from the Northarvest. As will the next one. That's because, of the five recipes listed in it, these two are the only ones I ever really enjoyed. CASSOULET Ingredients: 1 Pound Navy Beans (or your own combination of beans equal to one pound) 1/2 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon Powder 5 Cups Water 4-5 Slices Bacon, diced 1 Medium Onion, diced 2 Carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces 1 Bay leaf 1 Tablespoon Parsley 1 Tablespoon Celery Leaves or seeds 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper (either ground or fresh grind) 1 Pound Polish (or Italian or Chicken Sausage)  1 1/2 Pounds Ham Directions: Soak beans. Drain beans; discard soak water...
