1.) Loaded circus animal cookie: White chocolate, frosted circus animal, and sprinkle cookie with a white chocolate drizzle.

2.) PB&Cheez: Peanut butter cookie with chunks of cheez-it (this one was everyone’s favorite).

3.) Sweet & Savory: Chocolate Chip, salted peanut, and pretzel cookie.

PB&Cheez

Cream together:

-1/4 cup salted butter, softened

-3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

-1/4 cup white sugar

-1 cup brown sugar

-1 egg + 1 egg yolk

-1 tsp vanilla extract

Then, mix in until a dough forms:

-1 cup all purpose flour

-3/4 tsp baking soda

-1 tsp salt

Then, mix in until evenly distributed:

-1 cup cheez-itz, rough chopped (extra for topping)

Using a 3oz scoop, scoop onto parchment lined cookie sheets, flatten slightly and place a cheez-it on top. Bake at 350° for 10-13 minutes, careful not to overbake. The edges should be lightly browned, not even golden, just lightly browned.

Once out of the oven, while still hot, take a spatula and press down the dome to ensure you get a super soft and chewy cookie center. Enjoy!

My sisters her husband and his cook team (BBQ) are hosting a benefit/fundraiser tomorrow to raise money for a girl who’s in my nephew’s class who’s fighting cancer. My nephew is 8 and today is his birthday and he said that for his birthday he wanted to do something nice and help this little girl out (we call him our gummy bear because he’s so sweet). So to help I donated several dozen cookies to help them sell more and raise more money. They’re selling BBQ plates so I tried to do something that would pair well with the plates.

Here’s the flavors:

1.) PB&Cheez: Peanut butter cookie with chunks of Cheez-Itz

2.) Frosted Circus Animal: White chocolate chip cookie with frosted circus animal cookie chunks and sprinkles topped with a frosted cookie, a white chocolate drizzle, and sprinkles.

3.) Sweet & Savory: Chocolate chip cookie with salted peanuts and pretzels
