Hey guys! One if my friends asked me if I could make him something chocolate and magical. He says he likes chocolate, peanut butter, and cookies.

Any ideas?

I think they are too! I made them about a month ago and it seemed like the cookie part was too dry of a texture...

Here is a recipe for frosting used on Italian Chocolate cookies. I got this decades ago from a real old Italian!! It's amazing, especially on the cookies!

3/4 c. margarine
1 1/2 lbs confectioner's sugar
9 Tblsp cocoa
2 oz whiskey
enough MILK or COFFEE to make spreading consistency.

It's for 2 batches of cookies, so it makes a lot.

This is a recipe for Chocolate Frosting directly off the back of a Hershey's can of powdered cocoa.

1/2 c. Hershey's cocoa
6 Tblsp. butter
2 2/3 c. confectioner's sugar
4 Tblsp. milk
1 tsp vanilla

Cream butter until soft in bowl. Add cocoa, blend well.
Gradually add confectioner's sugar, alternating with milk and vanilla,
beat to spreading consistency.
Makes 2 c., or enough for 30 cupcakes or 8" or 9" layer cake.

This is very good, especially if Godiva Chocolate Liquor is added!! lol

Hi Pik....I have a great recipe for an easy bar cookie that I make on a pretty regular basis and it is delicious. I got it off the inside of a package of Land o Lakes Butter and it's called:

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BARS
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) Land o Lakes Margerine, softened (I use whatever brand I have)
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter (can also use smooth if you prefer)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 T. sugar (granulated or the coarse raw kind works great - not confectioners)
35 milk chocolate kisses (Hersheys)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13x9 baking pan with foil leaving a 1-inch overhang and set it aside.

Combine brown sugar, margarine, and peanut butter in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often,until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla. Continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low and add flour, baking powder and baking soda. Beat until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips.

Pat dough into prepared pan. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until a golden brown. Immediately press evenly spaced chocolate candies into warm bars. Cool Completely. Remove bars from pan using the edges of foil to lift. Cut into bars - cutting between the candies. Makes 35 bars.

Get out some cold milk and dive in!!!
