Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Leftover Candy Cookies

Leftover Candy Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 large egg
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup oats
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped candy bars, any flavor or variety
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix butter, sugars, peanut butter, vanilla and egg until fluffy. Add flour, oats, baking soda and salt and combine until dough is blended. Stir in candy bar pieces evenly. Drop heaping spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
Tip: Because of the ooey-gooey nature of these cookies, I recommend using parchment paper to bake them. Once you remove the cookie sheet from the oven, you can easily lift the parchment paper directly onto your cooling rack. You’ll avoid messing up your cookies with a spatula while they are still gooey. Once the cookies are completely cooled, they will come off the parchment paper with no mess.
