For the peanut butter cookie lovers:

Easy 4-Ingredient Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies
The cookies are super soft, very moist, and extremely chewy.
The cookies are packed with rich, bold, peanut butter flavor. If you’re looking for very peanut buttery cookies, try these.

Think of it as a 1-1-1-1 recipe. Combine 1 cup peanut butter, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and 1 cup Bisquick. Impossibly easy with just four ingredients you likely already have on hand. There is no substitution for Bisquick in this recipe
Directions:
1. To a large mixing bowl add the peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and stir to combine.
2. Add the Bisquick and stir to incorporate. Mixture will be very thick.
3. Using a large cookie scoop, 1/4-cup measure, or your hands, form approximately 11 equal-sized mounds of dough, roll into balls, and flatten about halfway by making crisscross marks using the tines of a fork. Dough may 'crack' a bit after you've pressed them down, it's okay.
4. Place mounds on a large plate or tray, cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 5 days. Do not bake with unchilled dough because cookies will bake thinner, flatter, and be more prone to spreading.
5. Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart (I bake 8 cookies per sheet) and bake for about 13-14 minutes (for super soft cookies, or longer for more well-done cookies) or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the center; don't overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool. The cookies take a few minutes longer than most cookies to bake and I suspect that's because it's a very moist dough from the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack.
**Cookies will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

Getting closer to springtime and resolutions for healthier eating may be getting more difficult to keep. Here is a healthy delicious little 4 Ingredient dessert you might like to try:


SKINNY BITE SIZED PIES
yield: 15-25 PIES
prep time:10 MINUTES-
total time:10 MINUTES
These bite sized pies have only 4 ingredients, can be modified to make them your favorite flavor, and they are heart-healthier!

INGREDIENTS:
•1-2 boxes Phyllo Tart Shells (see note)
•1 (0.9 oz) box sugar-free instant pudding mix (any flavor, may substitute a 3.4 ounce instant pudding that is not sugar-free but that would make these not as “skinny”)
•1 1/2 cups nonfat milk
•Fresh fruit and/or fat-free whipped topping or whipped cream
DIRECTIONS:
•Remove tart shells from the freezer and place on serving tray.
•Whisk pudding and milk in a medium sized bowl for 1 minute. Let sit until set up (about 3-5 minutes). Place pudding in a gallon size Ziploc bag. Cut off one tip. Pipe some pudding in each shell.
• Top with chopped fruit or whipped topping. (For a heart healthier treat, make sure to use Cool Whip Free, which is fat-free. Regular whipped cream can be used, but is not heart healthy.)

The phyllo tart shells can be found in the freezer section near the puff pastry and frozen desserts. The box comes with 15 tart shells. To use all the pudding, you’ll probably need about 1 1/2 boxes of the shells, or you can just have leftover pudding to eat as you desire!

Mexican Nopalitos (cactus) Smoothie

Ingredients:
1 Banana
1 Nopal Pod
1 1/2 – 2 Cup Fresh OJ
Ice
Directions:
Blend all ingredients

*Most will recognize these oval green pads as the same spine covered Prickly Pear cactus that grow like weeds throughout the American Southwest. While they are virtually ignored and even scorned in the U.S., nopales are considered a delicacy in Mexico. After carefully peeling to remove its needles, the pads are boiled or roasted until tender. I have tried them in a cold salad flavored with green chiles, tomatoes, and vinegar; stir-fried with onions and chiles and sprinkled with crumbled cheese; and creamed with corn and ladled over scrambled egg-filled enchiladas. They are even delicious in smoothies, as in this recipe, which simply requires that all the following ingredients be whipped up in a blender
Nopales are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals and scientists are now studying the cactus for other health benefits. Because they are are low in carbohydrates nopales are believed to help in the treatment of diabetes and the cactus also has been used to lower cholesterol levels.
