Pillsbury Bake-Off Million-Dollar Winner: Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

At first I was excited to see a peanut butter cookie recipe that was worth a million dollars until I saw that it was made with a premade cookie dough! I have never used a premade store bought cookie dough & never will! Every cookie from scratch is my idea of a million dollar cookie, not some premade shortcuts. No thanks, I wouldn't even try this recipe. Maybe they need a crock of butter to go along with this recipe.

I always prep my veggies on the weekend for fast meals during the week.Prechopped & ready to go. I buy family packs of meats & break those down for dinner for two. I'm pretty organized & make my menus the week prior to buying the groceries, that way it saves me time & since my husbands first question before we leave for work is "what are we having for dinner tonight", I can tell him, so he knows beforehand. My meals normally take 30 to 45 minutes max during the week. Since I cook, I don't have to worry about the cleanup because that is my husbands job!!! Good for me!

Pillsbury Bake-Off Million-Dollar Winner: Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

I can't believe she won for hiding a ball of peanut butter in a peanut butter cookie. They must be good... I might just have to run with her idea. Off the top of my head i got: Listerine strips, Junior Mints, Sour patch kids, Andes mints (the free ones at Luby's), MSG, Flintstone vitamins, Grape Dimetapp, the same dough that you're wrapping it in, sunflower seeds, granola bar, assorted starbursts, maybe an air cookie, Rolos, sweet and sour duck sauce, and a tryptophan cookie.... I'm sure they'll all taste horrible but one might be a winner!

Pillsbury Bake-Off Million-Dollar Winner: Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

A recipe, according to Webster's, is a set of instructions for making something from various ingredients. That makes this and other recipes calling for the use of convenience food ingredients "real." The contest is clearly designed to generate recipes using specific brand-name products. If that's not your thing, look elsewhere for your recipes.

When I buy a bag of lemons I zest them and then juice them all. I freeze the zest in little baggies and the juice I freeze in ice cube trays and then place in baggies in the freezer. It's very convenient for baking and cooking.

I make a large beef roast on Sunday and we eat leftovers at least twice after.

We always make extra - doubling every recipe - to have leftovers and save cooking time.

cut n freeze -- and buy frozen when you can -- especially veggies since they tend to be fresher frozen

If you eat plenty of salads, cut everything up and put into plastic storage containers as soon as you get home from the store.

Make weekly menus for dinner, so there is no rushing to put something together for dinner last minute.
