Okay, I just made several dozen of these and these are my new favorite cookie! I got the recipe from thesisterscafe.com and you can see a picture of them here and get the recipe as well
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies
1 cup butter (2 sticks) softened to room temp
2/3 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cup flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
48 miniature Reese's Peanut Butter cups, unwrapped
Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until smooth. Combine flour, soda and salt and add to butter mixture.
form dough into 1 inch balls and place in mini muffin pan (leave in balls; do not press down)
Bake at 350 for 10 -11 min (I timed mine at 9 1/2 minutes and they came out PERFECT)
Just cook until they start to brown and then take them out.
Immediately press a miniature peanut butter cup into the cookie until the top is even with the top of the cookie. Let cookies cool in pan for at least 10 min before transferring.
Sandee's tips for perfect cookies: Spray the mini muffin pan with Pam. Bake 9 1/2 min. After putting the reeses peanut butter cups in the cookies, then I put them in the refrigerator for 10 min, then take them out and they will come out of pan perfectly!
They actually taste better after letting them set a couple of hours!
These are very easy to make, you make 24 at a time, and they taste so yummy and look so cute!
Perfect for showers and birthday parties and finger food!
LOVE IT!

Grandma Harrah's Green Beans
Dan's mom Beth is a wonderful cook. One thing I have learned from her is how to cook good green beans. Of course fresh beans are the best, but when you have to use canned green beans, she would Drain the green beans (let's say 3-4 cans green beans), pour into big pan for stove. Then add water to cover them, sprinkle in like 2 -3 Tblsp dill weed and 1 to 2 Tblsp dried onions, bring to boil and boil for a bit. She would also boil the little small red potatoes and then add them to the boiling green beans for the last bit, maybe cut the potatoes into halves or thirds.
Drain the green beans and season with salt and some butter.
YUMMY!

Peanut Butter Popcorn
We just recently held homemaking where they asked everyone to bring their favorite popcorn recipe, and this one was my favorite to eat, LeeAnn Hein brought it, and it actually is the same stuff I make to put on my Peanut Butter Rice Krispies, but to put this on popcorn is different and wonderful and the best treat ever! you just gotta try it, seriously, I had no idea it would be this good, I have made it five times since, the secret is to PICK OUT ALL THE UNPOPPED POPCORN SEEDS as I hate hate hate to bite down on a popcorn kernel.
Peanut Butter Popcorn
1 cup sugar
1 cup karo syrup
Melt over medium high heat on stove top, as soon as it is mixed good and dissolved and just beginning to boil, bring off of heat and add:
1 cup peanut butter
you can add 1 tsp vanilla at this point as well and stir real well, pour over popcorn.
I buy the microwave popcorn, I just pop two of the envelopes of popcorn and this recipe covers that much popcorn pretty well!
I like to use my big tupperware Thatsabowl, it is my most favorite prized possession, if you ever wonder what to give someone for a gift, give that bowl, you can buy them on ebay for cheaper than tupperware store. But I use that bowl whenever I make anything like rice krispy treats and this stuff and so forth as it doesnt stick to the sides!
So put your good popcorn in the thatsabowl, pour the sugar karo peanut butter mixture over it, stir real well, and give it a minute or two to cool and wa la, pure delight!

Pecan Pie Cupcakes
I love pecan pie. For my birthday my daughter Shauna made me some pecan pie cupcakes.

I took them to work to share and was sorry I did because now they are all gone! Here is the link to where she found the recipe, I like to share the link so you can check out that person's blog for other great recipes as well! go here

1/2 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Spray a miniature muffin tin with non stick cooking spray (the kind with flour in it works well)
Fill each indention 3/4 the way full
Bake for approximately 15 to 18 min
Makes 24 mini muffins
Note: some people have problems with them sticking to the pan so suggestions are to only let them cool in the pan for a a minute or two and then invert them onto cooling rack . do not let them cool in the pan or they will stick to pan.
Also, don't fill them all the way to the top or they will overflow.
enjoy! these are DIVINE
