I like Peanut Butter . . . in Cookies, Candy and licking it off a spoon. I don’t like Peanut Butter . . . on bread. Peanut Butter Chocolate Kiss Cookies are even better! I like this recipe. It’s a cross between chewy & shortbread. Did you know according to the National Peanut Board that . […]

    I’m the same. Put it in cupcakes or cookies and I will lap it up but never on bread. It’s the same with coffee. I can’t drink it at all – hate the flavor but put it in a cake or dessert and it’s delightful.ReplyCancel

  • Valerie Broas - 01/06/2016 - 12:55 pm

    The first time I made these cookies I doubled the recipe and they turned out perfect. I just made another batch and they are chewy:( I used Odense Almond paste for the second batch and had a heck of a time smoothing it out. I won’t use it again. I also subbed vanilla for almond flavor and added 1/4tsp lemon flavor. I wish i could remember the name of the almond paste I used with the first batch. It came in a can.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 05/07/2012 - 9:18 am

      Hi Karen,

      This also works well, because I’ve already put it to the test:
      Turn your oven on and heat it to 170 degrees, then TURN THE OVEN OFF.
      Place a nice thick clean towel on the middle rack of the oven. Place your pizza dough (covered with a lid or saran wrap) on top of the towel.
      AGAIN….Make sure the oven has been turned off. Let it sit inside the warm oven until it has risen fully double.
      Hope this helps,
      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Jen @ Jen's Favorite Cookies - 05/07/2012 - 5:09 pm

  • Charity - 05/17/2012 - 11:17 am

    If you don’t have a pizza peel, covering the bottom of a cookie sheet with cornmeal also works, but I use parchment paper instead. This recipe is very similar to the Artisan Bread I make all the time – can’t wait to try it!ReplyCancel

  • Anita - 06/30/2012 - 10:53 am

    I’ve made this a half-dozen times for my family already – WE LOVE IT. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    An extra tip that may help you. I rarely get it made 18 hours in advance, or even a whole day, so I increase the amount of yeast accordingly so it will rise in time for me to prepare it. If I just have a few hours till dinner, I’ll put in up to 1 tsp of yeast, and it turns out great.

    I also prepare the crust and put it on a sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick spray or parchment paper. Then when I want to bake it I can transfer it back and forth from my counter and the oven pretty easily.ReplyCancel

  • ann - 10/07/2012 - 3:24 pm

    Help, Jonna! I used regular cold filtered tap water to make this batch! Did I fail by not using 100-105 degrees water?
    I could just kick myself for not paying attention. Thank JonnaReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 10/07/2012 - 4:09 pm

      Hi Ann,

      With todays yeast, you should still be o.k…BUT it will take much longer for your yeast to work!
      I suggest turning your oven on to the LOWEST TEMPERATURE POSSIBLE…150 to possibly 170 degrees F and let it come to that temp.
      TURN YOUR OVEN OFF, and place a clean kitchen towel over the oven rack. Place your COVERED HEAT RESISTANT BOWL (make sure it’s covered) and place the bowl of dough on top of the clean towel. DO NOT TURN THE OVEN ON NOW! Close the oven door, but leave a slight crack in the door. Just place a spoon handle or something in the door, if it won’t stay slight ajar. Leave the dough in there for a couple of hours until you see some rise in the dough. You could also place in a very warm area of your house, if the sun is shining down on you today. This won’t be quite as fast though. Good luck, unless you killed the yeast, this method should work.

      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Ann - 10/07/2012 - 6:24 pm

    It worked! Thank you Jonna! The dough is rising, slowly but surely. You are a life saver.

    I’ve made this recipe many many times and it’s never failed me. It’s so freaking good and impossibly easy to make! I recently got the Baking Steel Griddle, which I preheat for an hour at 550 degrees and then bake the pizza for 7 to 9 minutes on parchment paper (so that the pizza slides in and out of the oven easier). I’ve even made this the same day by just increasing the amount of yeast for a faster rise. If you haven’t made this dough, you really should, you won’t be disappointed.ReplyCancel

      Hi April

      Thanks so much for letting us know you’ve tried this. We love, love love this pizza dough. Once you try this,
      you really have no need to order out again. It so fast to make, and keep in the fridge for a quick pizza!
      I use a pizza stone, but I will look into the Baking Steel Griddle. The hotter the better!

    like others said, when i make my pizza, i use parchment paper, too. it works wonders for me. i put a bit of flour on the paper, slap the dough on, and work it. then just slide the whole thing onto the stone(easier with a 2 person team). then when done, slide the parchment onto a plate. did you ever try it on the bbq? mmm..ReplyCancel

      It is a vegetable cutter with an adjustable blade, so that you can make different widths. I use it to make Homemade potato chips, french fries, etc…you can slice very thick or very very thin!

      It’s a mandolin. Used for slicing vegetables, it has an adjustable blade, and is not for beginners. It’s quite easy to seriously cut yourself if you’re new to this particular piece of equipment. Read the manufacturer instructions and use common sense. Keep your fingers away from the blades. Use the guards. Good luck.ReplyCancel

      Hi Kiah,

      I probably wouldn’t use all milk, but you could do half milk and half cream. You could also use
      all half & half. If you use either of those options, I would probably whisk in a tablespoon or two of flour vigorously
      into the milk/cream mixture.

      If you put in more than that, you really don’t have enough room for the potatoes, cream & cheese.
      If you do 5 to 6 breasts, make sure that your pan is very deep. Corning ware has a great 9×13″ that is ultra deep
      Hope this helps,
      JonnaReplyCancel

    Okay….why does moving it to a lower rack make the potatoes brown?

    I have a feeling that the answer to this is going to change some things at my house……. 🙂

    And this looks amazing and my hubby will totally love it!ReplyCancel

    Instead of the sliced potatoes I used a bag of frozen shredded hash browns to save time and it came out perfect cooked at the same time and temp.! Very tasty and I’ll be making this again! Thanks!ReplyCancel

      Hi Kathy,

      You comment made me laugh, and made my day!
      Thanks so much for leaving me a sweet note.
      We also love this, and it’s easy to change it up. Try
      browning porkchops, or adding slices of good ham in between the potatoes before baking.
      Yum.

    We were having a family over for dinner tonight, and I decided to make this dish. What a hit! The father of the family said it’s the best chicken dish he’s ever had! He also said if he comes over again, I don’t need to find another recipe, because I can just make that again. My husband chimed in by saying he definitely hopes this is a repeat recipe! I knew it would be yummy when I read it! (But I shortcutted and used frozen hash browns, then put the cream and stuff on the potatoes while I was waiting for the chicken to finish on the stove. Tossed the chicken on top and threw it in the oven. So good!) Thanks!ReplyCancel

    I wondered if you have ever used frozen shredded potatoes in the chicken and potatoes casserole. If so, how did it compare to shredding 4-5 fresh potatoes?

    thanks,
    RhondaReplyCancel

      Hi Rhonda,

      I haven’t used frozen potatoes before, but many have and left comments that they work well!
      I live in an area where potatoes are plentiful, so I always have them on hand.

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 04/13/2014 - 6:24 pm

      Hi Shannan,

      You can, but after cutting your potatoes and cutting them, rinse all the starch from them in cold water and drain well.
      Lay them on paper towels and remove the excess water that remains.
      Then you can follow the recipe, and the potatoes won’t turn brown.

      Hope this helps,

    I made this exact recipe minus the chicken and bacon one night for guests and it looked like your photo that you said didn’t photo well the edges looked curdled almost and turned my guests off 🙁 did that happen to anyone else? I want to retry itReplyCancel

  • Ellen - 09/22/2015 - 4:25 pm

    This looks like a terrific recipe. I am looking for a dish to make for a luncheon that would be easy to eat from a lap instead of a table. If one was to cut the chicken in cubes would it make it easier to eat or is the chicken tender enough to cut with fork?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 09/23/2015 - 3:19 pm

      Hi Ellen,

      I believe that if you use small chicken breasts they should be able to cut with a fork. The chicken get very tender!

      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Josie - 10/13/2015 - 4:44 pm

    The cream curdled. Why? I followed the recipe exactly. I was hoping for a creamy sauce but it looked watery with ‘cottage cheese’ in it. 🙁ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 10/18/2015 - 6:36 pm

      Hi Josie,

      About half way through the baking time, the cream will appear curdled. The water from the cream, as well as the water content from the potatoes causes
      this to happen. Don’t despair! Allow the dish to cook longer, and it all comes together nicely in the end. Even if the potatoes seem fork tender, allow the potatoes to
      cook at least 1 to 1 1/2 hours. This will depend on how many potatoes you use. Always put the dish on the bottom rack to brown the potatoes on the bottom of the pan.
      I hope that you didn’t throw them out, and you were able to eat them! Oh man, this is our family favorite!

      JonnaReplyCancel

  • Mary Gendron - 08/13/2016 - 4:38 pm

    Sounds delicious! Do you remove the foil for the last fifteen minutes to brown the potatoes?ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE - 08/19/2016 - 2:04 pm

      Hi Mary,

      I like to leave the foil on the top of the potatoes and chicken, but I lower the oven rack to the bottom
      portion of the oven. This will give you a perfect golden crispy potato on the bottom of your baking dish. It’s the best part!

      Thank you,

    Man, I wanted to LOVE these, but they were a complete fail. I mixed, scooped & baked. The centers were not cooked, the sweetened condensed milk spread all over the pan… it was a mess!
    So, I just went out and bought a candy bar and threw the rest away. I love the idea, just sad they didn’t turn out for me.ReplyCancel

    • Jonna - 04/24/2012 - 4:49 pm

      Oh Steph…..you should not have thrown them away. Mine spread as well….once they are golden brown, remove them from the oven, and with a heat proof spatula, you simply press that golden goodness back into the center. Let them cool and I promise they are wonderful, chewy & one of our favorite cookies.
      If you use the square pan, you won’t have the spread problem. I usually just scoop them though! Try try again.

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 12/13/2012 - 12:10 pm

      Hi Amy,

      The recipe as posted is the original recipe on Baker’s Coconut package.
      It’s my favorite…as it leaves a golden edge of caramel.
      I simply shape the cookies that I do on parchment paper as rounds,
      but if you use the greased square pans…there isn’t a problem at all.
      This is my favorite Macaroon cookie.

      If you would like the consistency to be a bit different….add one EGG WHITE only to the recipe.

    You mentioned that for your flaky roll recipe that you double the batch and freeze some. Do you freeze the dough or the already made rolls? I am hoping to find a recipe that I can freeze the dough after I roll them up but before I bake them. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!ReplyCancel

    • Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! - 11/21/2012 - 10:05 am

      Hi Dana,

      I freeze the rolls already made…..thaw them and heat them in a low oven.
      They are frozen right after they cool, and they turn out perfectly!
      You could however shape the dough and set them on a cookie sheet and freeze….before the rise.
      The day you want to bake them….you will need to thaw, and let rise until double in size….then bake.

    As a former flowers foods employee I can state for a fact that olive garden gets their breadsticks from flowers foods. Look around your area for a thrift store and they will most likely have them in stock. If they don’t but you see cobblestone mill bread sticks they are the same thing only pre prepped with olive oil and basil. Pop em in the oven at 450 for 3 minutes brush melted butter or margarine on them and sprinkle garlic salt. That is how olive garden preps them. Mind you they have a convection oven.ReplyCancel
