Time 1h

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 heaping teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup chocolate candies, such as M and Ms
1 cup rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter together with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until it's nice and combined. Add the eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and beat until smooth, scraping the bowl if necessary to make sure everything is incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, coffee granules, baking soda and salt. Stir together, then add it to the mixer in 3 increments, mixing on low until it's totally incorporated. Scrape the bowl and beat for a few more seconds. Stir in the chocolate candies, rice cereal and pecans (if using) by hand.
  • With an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate the scooped cookies for 15 minutes, then bake until golden brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining dough.

POOR MAN'S COOKIES



Poor Man's Cookies image

In the 1930s, producers of a popular radio program called Jake and Lena invited listeners to write in for this recipe. My mother changed the name from Jake and Lena Cookies to Poor Man's Cookies because they contained no eggs, milk or nuts. Despite the name, the cookies are rich in taste!
