A friend of ours used to make a similar dish for pot lucks. She used spaghetti noodles. The kids all loved them.

I use that Grandma's PB cookie recipe alot...looks like the same recipe in the King Arthur Cookbook. That's a favorite. Amish pb is spread on a soft sugar cookie and is a staple here. Amish pb is made with peanut butter, marshmallow cream, and maple syrup

I was thinking that you make peanut butter pie? Am I right or wrong?

I believe that the recipe is a common one. My grandmother had a recipe box and this was on a card, but my guess is that she copied it from a cookbook, jar of peanut butter or something.
 
Funny, I was thinking of the peanut butter cookies from grammer school the other day, even went looking for recipes on the net. I didn't find anything that wasn't complicated.

They built a new elementary, I went there for the 6th grade. The old kitchen must have had a magic cookie fairy but the ones at the new school never tasted the same.
 
The amish pb is a spread put on church cookies, which are soft sugar cookies made with buttermilk. I have so many fond memories of those peanut butter lunchlady bars from Jr High School. They were cut big, put in a wax paper little bag, and sold for a dime.
 
No recipe but the pic might be worth a laugh! 😁 This is my first attempt to bake anything other than a frozen pizza.

Bought Bcrocker peanut butter cookie mix at the store the other day on sale. Bought a no-stick cookie pan. I should have bought a larger one, obviously! 🤣

Simple to follow directions... 11min cook time for my oven. Made a mess with the oven mitt trying to get them out... scared my poor cookies!

Letting them cool... I'll be happy if they are better than the ones from the grocery store.

edit to add... Looks like I guessed right on the bake time. Browned nicely and not crunchy!

My favorite cousin makes the best peanut butter pie. I have not tried to duplicate it. My job is the dark chocolate cream pie, hers is the peanut butter

A bit off topic but around the holidays I tasted a buttermilk pie for the first time ever. I have never even heard of one before then.
Please submit multiple samples of recipes for taste test reviews.... 🤪 🤪

Instead of a larger pan, bake them in a couple smaller batches. When I was learning to bake, we always did a test batch of 2 or three cookies to see how they would spread. I may have gotten that idea in 4-H or in home ec. I've never made cookies from a Betty Crocker mix, always made them from scratch. The shortening especially has an affect on how much they spread. There are some examples of how different they can be, depending on if you are using lard, butter, Crisco, or something else. Also, varying the flour when making them from scratch makes a difference.

No bake "Reeses" pie.
Crush two packages of Graham crackers into crumbs and evenly distribute them in a buttered glass pan.
Melt two quarts of smooth and creamy peanut butter in your microwave and combine with a pint of Hershey's syrup or one bag of sweet baking morsels.
stir well, Dust with powdered sugar, cover with a towel, and refrigerate overnight.

For a kick, soak some dried fruit in spiced rum overnight and add the fruit into the mix.
 
I tried it again... I saw this Reece's cookie dough in the cooler at the grocery store.

There was a flavor in the Bcrocker mix I did not like. It got worse as the cookies aged. Don't know what that flavor was... in the south we'd say it had a 'whang' to it.

These from bought dough don't have that flavor. They are a lot better tasting...

There were 24 square pieces of dough in the pkg so I did 2 batches. Just put them on the pan and press with a fork. Ready in 14min...

Amazing! I get when the taste of some things is off. I am not one who likes to waste food, but sometimes the best place for some food is in the trash can.

They look great on the pan having more space between them, baking them in batches.

One of my clients gave me a container of cookies, sweets. One was peanut butter balls with rice krispies in the mix, dipped in chocolate. I decided that I wanted to make some, so I found this recipe.
