Somehow last week, I found myself presented with these two, very similar recipes. You better believe I made myself some of these. My four ingredients were peanut butter, powdered sugar, one egg, and chopped chocolate. And I baked them for 8 minutes. And I used natural peanut butter, even though that second recipe advises against it. I don't know about you, but I feel like, there just comes a time in your life when you join the adult table and start eating real maple syrup and real peanut butter. Although I concede that creamy peanut butter would have been better for this recipe than the crunchy that I had.
Also, I remember when it was decided that there would only be one space after a period, instead of two. I remember thinking it would take me forever to get used to doing that, if I ever did at all. And I just realized that it seems perfectly natural, so I guess that transition worked.
So the cookies ended up looking exactly the same after baking as they looked before baking. I actually think the insides just got warmed and nothing more.
These cookies are like the quick and easy version of these peanut butter balls that I adore. Actually, that makes me realize that these cookies would benefit from a pinch of salt. I guess a lot of peanut butters will have a little salt, but my recipe is totally lacking that 'flavor carrier' which is a bit of a shame. Although adding salt would probably make me want to eat these all in one day (instead of a more respectable two day).
And that is all I have to say about that.
When was it decided that there would only be one space after a period?
ReplyDeleteOh and the cookies look delicious too!
ReplyDeleteomg, I am SO with you about the one-space thing. one space used to seem so weird and now two spaces seems like a crazy waste of space!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny about the one space after the period deal. When I'm doing non-academic writing (which is 95% of my writing), I only include one space. But when I switch over to a research paper, I start adding two, which I don't think is even necessary anymore. I never thought about it before, and now you've got me thinking. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI am always envious of anything with peanut butter. My husband is allergic, and one of my daughters has a slight allergy. So...no peanut butter cookies for me. Boo.
