Peanut Butter Squares



1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c corn syrup
1 c peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla

Melt ingredients together. Put the 1 cup rice crispies and 2 cups corn flakes in a large bowl.
Pour the melted stuff on top and stir well to combine..
Spread into a 9x9-inch greased pan. Put 1/2 half a package of chocolate chips on top and then put the pan in a warm oven to melt the chocolate. When melted, you can spread the chocolate all over the top like a frosting. Cool a bit, then cut into squares and serve.

Aggression Cookies

GG got this recipe from a friend- they were served to us when we visited one day. (and since I love oatmeal cookies I had my mom get the recipe-LS)

Ingredients:
3 c brown sugar, packed
3 c margarine
6 c uncooked oatmeal
1 tsp soda
3 c flour

Directions:
  • with clean hands, mash, knead and squeeze all ingredients until well mixed and a firm dough
  • form into small balls
  • place on ungreased cookie sheets
  • dip the bottom of a small water glass into granulated sugar and flatten each ball
  • bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes
Anytime there was an opportunity for boys to cook - this was my recipe of choice. I let Birke's cub pack make them and also Kirt's scouts. Boys love to get their hands all messy with cookie dough. When having the boys make the cookies we make a slight adjustment- instead of making lots of little balls I have them form the cookie dough into 3 long tubes, we wrap them in waxed paper and pop them into the freezer for slice and bake cookies later. When we want to get really exotic I have them add chocolate chips, or raisins, or both.
