I wish that the internet had smell-o-vision.

No, really.  You want to smell the aroma in my house right now.

It is peanut butter AMAZINGNESS (is that word?  it should be…)!

Easy-Peasy Peanut Butter Cookies

So Peanut Butter Fingers is one of my favorite blogs.  And she had this recipe that I just had to try.  I actually hadn’t been planning on trying it TONIGHT, but I was bored and I already had all of the ingredients!  Well, kinda…

She used 1 cup of regular peanut butter, which I didn’t have.  So I used half of my all-natural creamy peanut butter and half of Brandon’s chunky peanut butter (shhh… don’t tell him! ).

Just a few ingredients… love it!

So to the 1 cup of peanut butter, I added 1 egg and 1 cup of sugar.  I also added 1/2 tsp of vanilla, just because I love vanilla.

I spooned out 14 cookies, but you could probably make them a little bigger and just have a dozen.  Baked them for at 350 degrees for 10 minutes (just as Julie suggested), and oh. my goodness.  The smell.  The amazing, wonderful, sweet, peanut butter smell!

I burned my tongue eating the first one because I was so impatient.  So I waited 10 5 minutes to try another one…

yum.

They are soft and have a nice texture.  I think they aren’t too sweet because I used 1/2 all natural peanut butter (which doesn’t contain any added sugar).  And I actually liked the chunks of peanuts from using a 1/2 c. of Brandon’s chunky peanut butter (thanks, sweetie! ).

All in all, definitely a success.  Thanks to Julie at Peanut Butter Fingers for helping make my Tuesday night a little sweeter!
