For all the cookie monsters in your house…

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup crunch peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup white sugar, put aside in a small bowl
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter, peanut butter, white sugar and brown sugar together. Beat in eggs. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix dry ingredients with the batter. Mix in chocolate chips. Roll batter into one inch balls and coat each ball by rolling it into the white sugar that was put aside. Place each ball on a baking sheet and press with a fork to make a criss cross pattern. Bake in the oven for 9-10 minutes or until the cookies begin to brown, but do not overbake.

A Few of my Favorite Things

What better way to kick off a month of creativity than to focus on what I love. I want to write, draw, and sketch more, so this project was a perfect way to get my practice in on all of the above. The body always gets better at exactly what it does, so if I don’t draw or write, then how can I possibly get better at it.

One of my favorite foods in the world (and a constant topic of conversation at a training event I was at last weekend) is peanut butter cups.

Make your own Peanut Butter:

  • Go to Trader Joes
  • Buy honey roasted peanuts
  • Put in food processor
  • ENJOY!!!

If you like the salty-sweet thing, than this peanut butter is for you! The only way it can be improved upon is to buy a block of Ghiradelli chocolate while you are at Trader Joes, and slice off small pieces, and add some of your freshly-made PB.

Don’t forget to store the PB in the fridge!
