Anyone got a recipe that would work with peanut butter cookies?

I thought maybe I could grind them up and use them to make a piecrust,
so anyone got a pie recipe that would work well with a
peanut-butter/chocolate chip crust?

Put the PB cookies in the freezer, too. Save them for the next bake
sale. They'll be fine. I store cookies in a wax-paper-lined tin in the
freezer and pull out what I reasonably need (2 if I'm watching Rob's
intake) on demand. I wouldn't waste a good PB cookie on a pie crust.

We were supposed to be having our church bake sale tomorrow morning so
I baked five batches of cookies yesterday. Now the sale's cancelled
(again) due to rain and general mismanagement (ie.nobody organised any
publicity so nobody's going to come and buy the stuff because they
don't know it's on!) And I'm left with five batches of cookies... the
oatmeal cookies will freeze so they aren't a problem, and I only made
a little batch of cherry-pecan cookies so we'll just enjoy them, but I
HATE peanut butter and the recipe made tons...

Maybe you can find, in your area, one of the organizations doing
Thanksgiving Dinner for the homeless and donate the cookies to them?
When I was in Anchorage, we volunteered to help cook and serve at the
Salvation Army's T-day Dinner, and it was an amazingly rewarding day....and
a whole lot of fun.

We've only got a fridge-top freezer so there really isn't room for all
of it... otherwise, I'd freeze them and dish them out when my husband
wants dessert (ie, every night! lol) I think what I'll do is make up a
bunch of cookie packages and everyone can take one home from our
church thanksgiving lunch on sunday.

Nothing better than cookies out of the freezer.

I wasn't sure about the freezer thang.
Make a cutesy scrapbook-y tag for them with a note saying they were to
have been for the sale that didn't happen and you wanted to share with
all (as opposed to saying you don't want the wretched things in YOUR
house!)

I'm a Peanut Butter Cup fan - I would put a chocolate pie in a peanut butter
cookie crust (maybe made will Jello brand Chocolate Fudge pudding and pie
filling). Maybe a few chopped peanuts sprinkled on top. mmmmm mmmmm

Or, depending on the size of the cookies, I might put a scoop of ice cream
between two of them and have an ice cream sandwich.

Or drop them off at the local firehouse. Whatever you do, don't take them
to an elementary school!

(Hey, I forgot the obvious solution.....send them to ME!)

I was going to suggest the same thing. On some Saturdays when my guilt
says I should be doing something constructive but I hate to clean
house, I spend a day baking. Then I take them Sunday for the coffee
hour after church services. They usually just have coffee. Until it
gets to, "Jim, welcome! What, no cookies today? Oh well, good to see
you, anyway." hmph

Barb's famous brownies, in the new version with cherries and amaretto,
went over great with that crowd. I didn't tell them there was booze in
it. 🙂

P..S. Barb: Have you tried it with cranberries instead of the
cherries? I bought a package of Ocean Spray "Craisins" -- called
sweetened dried cranberries, cherry flavor. The texture of raisins
with a unique flavor. Added to it some of the liquid reserved from the
last attempt when I used cherries from a can of cherry pie filling,
since I couldn't find actual cherry preserves to suit me. So I just
mixed it all by ear (which was a mess to clean out 🙂

I just found a recipe for Amish oatmeal cookies with chopped up peanuts
and raisins. Not until I started measuring out all the ingredients did
I see that it makes about 7 dozen! Too late to downsize. Maybe I'll
take them to the university class I teach on the day the students fill
out the instructor evaluation form.

I'm not proud; I'm experienced.

Although sometimes public servants are leery of taking home prepared
food from strangers, for obvious reasons. If you go in with them, stick
around and chat 'em up a bit and make sure they know who brought them. I
bet they'll enjoy them!

Sure, and that's what I've done, too. And left them my name and
address, blabblahblah

No, I ain't into Chocolate Cranberry Amaretto Brownies and you'd best
not be either, Bub.

Alternative to eating or storing the cookies - locate a
(homeless,battered,runaway,etc) shelter, food pantry, soup kitchen,
whatever. Give your excess goodies to those who can't afford a treat.
