That's essentially the recipe my mother used all the time. They're great. She always used shortening. Nice and crumbly. My sister mixes butter and shortening. I usually use the butter flavored shortening. Also she never added the salt. Peanut butter generally has enough salt and if you use salted butter, that too has salt in it but use if you like. A suggestion to speed things up, just grab a bunch of the dough and roll it in your hands into a log shape about 1"-1 1/2" or however big you want them, then break off the pieces and set in the pan. Take the fork and go at them. My mother's recipe said to dip the fork in flour but I usually touch the fork to the dough then dip it in sugar. As you're breaking off pieces, usually 2-3 in the pan and one in the mouth. Love that peanut butter cookie dough!

This dip was made famous at the KT Iowa Get-together. Think Sandie made it! Buffalo Chicken Dip 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded --- 4-8 oz. Franks Hot Sauce I used 4 oz 16 oz. cream cheese 1/2 cup blue cheese or ranch salad dressing **used buttermilk ranch 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided **used finely shredded fiesta blend Preheat Oven: 350ð Combine chicken with 1 cup of cheese. (Adjust the amounts of hot sauce to make the dip mild, medium or hot per your own taste.) Heat the hot sauce, cream cheese, dressing until melted Add to the chicken and cheese Pour mixture into a greased baking dish and sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese. Bake at 350ú F for 25 to 30 minutes. Used an oblong baking dish sprayed with pam Scoops are great for dipping.

I appreciate it too, Joanne. I can't imagine how much work that must be for you. Jasdip--LOL! It does seem odd, because after the first time my post didn't post, I've made a point of making sure I hit "Submit". (Now pretend we're hearing "Twilight Zone" music.)

Grandparent's day - that's what DH's daughter said, and she(and DGD) took us out to dinner at a local steakhouse. We had filet mignon w/roasted yam and key lime pie. DGD had chicken fingers. That little 10 month old girl spent the entire dinner flirting with a teen age boy at the next table !
