Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

AJ loves Oatmeal Cookies

"Me" loves Peanut Butter Cookies.

So I went on line to find these:

"Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies"

And

they are so gooooood!

One thing I discovered this year is

Parchment Paper.

Now I have seen this used on the

Food Network and of course

Martha has recommended it for years.

I just thought

"this is just to gourmet for me".

I used to get out the shortening and

slather up the cookie sheets.

Then came the

cooking spray and that was better then

sliced bread.

But you still had to clean the cookie sheet, everytime,

after a batch of cookies came out of the oven.

On one of my trips to WalMart I decided to buy

a roll of Parchment Paper

( I aso had a $1.00 coupon).

Not ever using it before I had to read directions.

Yes, there are rules to using Parchment Paper.

You can use either side,

no hanging over the edges of the cookie sheet,

and no oven heat above 450 degrees.

When baking cookies,

when you take them out of the oven,

slide cookies and paper off on the cooling rack.
Now I do not know if this is correct or not,

but I used the same piece of Parchment Paper

to bake the whole batch of cookies and

it stood up just fine after 4 dozen of

cookies being baken on 1 piece!

And the Great Thing is, the Cookie Sheet was

clean as a whistle! I just put the Little Darlin

back in the cupboard!

And the Cookies are beautiful,

Golden on the bottoms,

no scraping to get them unstuck

from the cookie sheet.

They just pop off the Parchment Paper!

I also use a scoop to get the same size

cookie evertime.

The Pampered Chef taught ME that trick.

One thing this has taught ME is:

"You can teach an Old Dog (Cook)

a New Trick!

If you want this Recipe it is on the web,

I just threw out my old bread
