4 oz. (1/2 block) cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 blocks (about 4 ounces) chocolate Candiquik or your favorite chocolate

Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each cookie, covering the peanut butter ball. Wait for the chocolate to set before serving.
Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Grandmother's Basic Pancake Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
2 tbsp. white vinegar (or substitute with an equal amount of buttermilk)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. sugar
1 ½ tsp. baking powder (aluminum-free recommended)
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 large egg, separated
2 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Non-stick cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Place an oven-safe platter or cooking sheet in the oven to keep pancakes warm until ready to serve.
Combine milk and white vinegar, setting aside for at least 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Separate the egg yolk from the white. Beat the egg yolk lightly in one bowl and whisk the egg white to soft peaks in another.
Gently fold the beaten egg yolk into the egg white, maintaining the airiness.
Stir the melted butter and vanilla into the buttermilk mixture.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently combine without overmixing; small lumps are okay.
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
When bubbles appear on the surface and a few have burst, flip the pancake. It's done when a gentle press with a spatula makes the pancake bounce back.
Keep finished pancakes warm in the oven until all are ready to serve.
