Flourless Peanut Butter Cookie FAIL

4/29/18

Okay, so yesterday I tried to make PB cookies.  We were short on flour, so I thought it was a lovely little quirk that the recipe didn't call for flour.  Looking back on it, that should have made me deeply suspicious, especially since the title of the recipe wasn't "Flourless PB Cookies."  It was probably a typo to leave that out.  Sooo... anyways we stuck it in the oven for the called-for amount of time and it ended up looking like this-



So as you can tell, this fun little plan didn't work out so well.  When I put it in the oven, instead of solidifying into cookies, the batter sort of all melted together into one big lump in the pan.  Then it started bubbling, which is really random for cookies.  When we took it out, it had made a sort of greasy, soft, wet brittle, I guess you could call it, but it wasn't brittle.  It wasn't bad though!!  If you ever want to make a peanut-buttery apple dip with a very strange texture, or want to try something new, here's the recipe-

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup butter (I used softened, but who knows?  Maybe unsoftened is better)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
About 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Mix the sugars, butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and peanut butter until it's nice and smooth.  Add the baking soda and baking powder and stir.  It should be looking pasty and creamy by now.  Finally, add the chocolate chips.  Mix thoroughly and then spread on cookie sheet.  Heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 9 minutes.

Um, enjoy?

    Did they taste good at least? I mean, they looked weird and the consistency was off, but when they got into your mouth... I've been wanting to do some baking lately, and I'm adding this to the list of things to make!

DIY Paw Print Charm

Sculpting is one of the things I do best.  Cats are some of the best things on the planet.  So I decided to combine these two, and the resulting paw print charm is a very cute and simple craft idea.  You can give it to a friend as a gift, or keep it for yourself, or clip it to your cat's collar.
