Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I've never rated anything under a four on this site, but I have to say the title of this cookie is very misleading. A). It isn't chewy, it's very cake-like and B). It doesn't taste like peanut butter at all. I think that maybe people's definition of a "chewy" cookie must vary, because like one reviewer said, they should rise slightly while cooking and then sink flat while cooling. Slightly underdone in the middle. These maintained their spoonful shape, and even rose a little highter than that. The result was a somewhat dry, cake like cookie that didn't have much peanut butter taste to it. Next time I will search for just a basic peanut butter cookie recipe and add chocolate chips to it.

Cocoa Rum Balls
These were great. Easy, although a tad bit time consuming rolling the balls. I used Malibu Rum and tried to roll in coconut, but it wouldn't stick, so I just mixed the coconut in and rolled it in regular white sugar (not powdered sugar). They were great soft, just made and even better the next day cold from the fridge. I thought the rum mixture was just right, but maybe because I used a smoother rum.

Peppermint Meringues
These are great. It did take me a little while to beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, and I don't think they were necessarily stiff, but they turned out great. I added 3 drops of peppermint extract (I like stuff minty), green food coloring, chocolate chips and I opted to sprinkle the crushed candy cane on top. My husband's opinion: "I did not expect this type of cookie to have this much flavor and taste this good, can you make more?" It's a keeper!
