“Pirate” Peanut Butter Cookies for “Talk Like a Pirate Day”

The Christie company out of Canada sells boxes of Pirate Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies which this is a copycat recipe for. Not sure why they chose the name “Pirate”, but the recipe caught my eye as we were looking for a new way to celebrate “Talk like a Pirate Day” this year. This is a combination of a few recipes and added chocolate chips.

The oatmeal cookies are good plain or filled.

Apple Cider Donuts

Apple cider is usually too sugary for the yeast to grow properly. If you want to try to omit the water to make a stronger cider mix, be sure to proof the yeast first. We used home made unprocessed apple cider for these and they had a nice cider taste.

Cookie Dough (with baked flour)

Chocolate peanut butter, Oatmeal cookie and White chocolate pecan cookie dough. These were good, but plain chocolate chip was a favorite.

These doughs also freeze well and are very good added to ice cream.

Chile Con Queso

Excellent with tortilla chips. Be sure to shred your own cheese, otherwise the dip may not be smooth.
