TKD Cookies

Since yesterday was the day after Taekwon-Do's birthday, I made Taekwon-Do cookies and brought them to Taekwon-Do class- Peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies, some of which I decorated to have Taekwon-Do pictures on them. Since they were a big hit, I'll give the recipe here!

Peanut Butter:
2 cups smooth peanut butter
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
(Optional: 2 cups chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix all ingredients together until smooth. If wanted, add chocolate chips at the end of your mixing. Drop (by desired size- the grow a lot, though!) onto buttered cookie sheet or one covered in parchment paper. Back 10-13 minutes until golden around edges. Don't take off the cookie sheet until the cookies are cool- if not they might break.

Oatmeal Cookies:
3 cups of oats
2 cups oat flour
1/2 teaspoon guar gum
1/2 teaspoon xanthun gum
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup of maple syrup
1/2 cup of sugar
1 1/2 sticks of butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
(Optional: 1 cup of raisins)

Preheat the oven to 350.
Mix ingredients together- you can start with creaming the butter and sugar together, or you can melt the butter and add it later. You can switch out more sugar for the maple syrup if you do not have any. Put the cookies onto a buttered pan and cook for 15 minutes or until golden around the edges.

Royal Frosting:
Beat one egg until it is foamy. Add in 2 cups of powdered sugar and the flavoring of your choice (vanilla, almond, ect.) Color it if you like, and thinly frost the cookies. This frosting will harden on the cookies and shine nicely. If you let the frosting sit too long, it will start to harden and won't look as smooth and shiney on the cookies.

I put Taekwon-Do techniques on some of my cookies, but we didn't get a picture of them...
