Two weeks ago we held our Christmas Cookbook Class
where we complied all of our Christmas Open House Cookie Recipes
& had guests make their own cookbook.....
With delicious cookies like these:
Peanut Butter-Chocolate Revel Bars
Crust:
Nonstick cooking spray ½ teaspoon salt1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar 2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with heavy foil, extending the foil over edges of pan. Coat foil with cooking spray; set pan aside.
In an extra-large bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Beat in the 2 cups peanut butter, the eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Set dough aside.
Filling:
2 teaspoons vanilla 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter or butter
