My mother-in-law was known for her chocolate and peanut butter cookies, and her special Sunday dinners. She always enjoyed baking and even worked in a bakery to help put her sons through college. Her cookies were always picture-perfect. —Cathy Pawlowski, Naperville, Illinois

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour to creamed mixture and mix well.
Shape into 3/4-in. balls. Coat bottom of a glass with cooking spray, then dip it in sugar. Flatten cookies with prepared glass, re-dipping glass in sugar as needed. Place on baking sheets. Bake until set, 12-15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
In a small bowl, beat the brown sugar, peanut butter and butter until smooth. Spread 1 teaspoon over each cookie. Combine glaze ingredients; gently spread 3/4 teaspoon over each peanut butter layer. Store in a single layer in airtight containers.

Pizza Hut is never satisfied with a basic pizza. After all, they introduced the original stuffed crust pizza back in 1995. While that's still on the menu, the Big Flavor Dippers Pizza is not. This two-foot-long pizza was sliced into 24 pieces with your choice of toppings and 10 different crust flavors—everything from pretzel to sriracha.
