Blast From My Past....Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe Just Add Water
Hello Sisters,
Here is another post from my old homestead blog that I though you may find useful.

Here's one of my favorite recipes I turn to when I want something quick, healthy (for the most part) and something small to nibble on with a cup of coffee for an afternoon 'pick us up; give us energy' snack:-) These cookies are made entirely of dry goods, yes, everything is dry except the water.
If you've read enough of the posts here you will see that we have a lot of bulk dry goods in various forms such as rice, beans, lentils, grains, flour etc but we also have a small supply of unusual dry goods....such as chicken, turkey, beef, peanut butter powder, tomato powder, powdered eggs, butter powder, shortening powder etc. We prefer the whole foods in their natural forms but we also like to be prepared for all times which makes for a well stocked pantry for every occasion from needing quick meals; regular 'from scratch' cooking, to emergency meals that need very little cooking in dire times.
Here is the peanut butter powder we have...
...and the ingredients :-) You can rehydrate the peanuts into peanut butter by just using water if you like and then spread it on your bread or bananas etc. But it does taste better if you add a bit of oil and a pinch of real salt.
We also have dehydrated shortening...
...but we don't use it often:-) You can substitute real shortening 1;1 if you like. Yes, shortening can be healthy for you if it comes from a good source, I have some of this.
To make these yummy cookies you simply mix all the dry ingredients together then add the water. Here's the ingredient list and a few notes to follow.
1 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening powder
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons powdered egg
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup water (more if needed)
Mix it with a spoon until well blended. If too dry then add a teaspoon of water at a time until it forms a thick dough.
Roll into 1/2" balls, press with fork on ungreased sheet and bake 375 for 8-10 minutes or until puffy and cracked. Don't over cook.
As stated before you can substitute regular shortening 1:1 and you can also make your own brown sugar by mixing in 1 1/2 tablespoons molasses with 1 cup of white sugar. I just toss the white sugar into the recipe then add in the molasses, sometimes a bit extra because we love molasses. I'm not sure of the dry egg to fresh egg ratio.
They taste great with a tiny bit of Nutella (or something similar) almost like eating a peanut butter cup but with more nutrition...a powerful pack of protein.
These freeze great, if they make it that far!
Have a joyful day and God be praised!
Love in Christ,
