This is a Casserole a co-worker shared with me. We loved it this past Christmas and was a true hit - nothing healthy about it - but so good. Really good after a night of drinking! When you just have that need for sausage, eggs, cheese and crescent rolls....mmmm.....

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies (30 minutes)

The other night, we had a friend over for dinner who is allergic to chocolate. I had decided earlier in the day to make peanut butter cookies but didn't realize that the dough of traditional cookies must be refrigerated for at least an hour. By the time, I set out to make them, I didn't have an hour for refrigeration. I was then quickly searching on the internet for a quick peanut butter cookie recipe. That's how I came across this flourless recipe. Without the flour, the cookies are even more peanutty!! Plus, they're extremely easy!

Ingredients:
1 c. peanut butter, plain or chunky
1 c. sugar
1 beaten egg
1 tsp. baking soda

Preparation:
Roll mixture into small balls. Press lightly with fork dipped in water. Bake for 10 minutes on greased sheet or just lined with parchment paper at 350 degrees. Let stand for 2 minutes before taking off sheet as they break easily at first.
