adventures in grown-up living
I’ve made peanut butter cookies before. But I had yet to find the IDEAL peanut butter cookie, the one that stayed soft and fluffy no matter what. UNTIL NOW. This one, adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction, IS that cookie. These things are like memory foam for your taste buds, and the cookies just melt away on the first … Continue reading “Pillow-Soft Peanut Butter Cookies”
The Pie LOVES peanut butter, but is not a huge fan of peanut butter cookies. I maintain that this is because he has not yet found the perfect recipe. This one comes courtesy of Fake Food Free’s sojourn into a summer cookbook and I like the looks of it. I took these babies camping with … Continue reading “Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies”
You’ll have to forgive the photo quality here: I mixed the dough in the dead of night and then made the cookies at the crack of dawn so they’d be a nice birthday surprise for the Pie. This dough is very soft so I would recommend baking your cookies from frozen(or at least chilled). Start … Continue reading “Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies”
When it comes to present-giving in my circle of friends, you’d be a bad friend if you didn’t think about the needs and desires of our furry family members. That’s why I made those cat toys back in the fall. And that’s why I’m making these healthy-yet-tasty dog treats. Start by preheating your oven to … Continue reading “Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Cookies”
The Pie, like many boys out there, has a strong addiction to peanut butter. He’s not a huge fan of peanut butter cookies, feeling that they’re often too dry, but this recipe was odd enough that he thought we should give it a shot. For this, in addition to peanut butter, we’re also going to … Continue reading “Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies”
Happy birthday Krystopf! More cookies for Papa John. And that man loves himself some peanut butter. We have actually made him flavoured peanut butter and given it to him for two Christmases in a row. Chances are high that it will be another request this year. This again has been adapted from Everyday … Continue reading “Peanut Butter and Cherry Cookies”
This recipe is an interesting one, and the Pie pointed it out to me. He loves peanut butter, but isn’t a huge fan of the peanut butter cookie, finding it too crumbly and dry. So he found me this recipe in Baked’s first cookbook, and I thought I would try it out for one of … Continue reading “Chewy Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies”
Do you have Hallowe’en candy left? We did. But then we had houseguests. But while we did have leftover candy, I made these sweet somethings. I forgot to photograph the middle part but I’m trusting you to know what I’m talking about. Start with some hardshelled chocolate candy. You want the stuff with shells otherwise the chocolate will … Continue reading “Hallowe’en Holdover Cookies”
These popped up on my Facebook feed a few weeks ago and they looked so easy I figured there was no harm in trying them. And they’re fantastic! Switch out the oats for gluten-free oats and you can please those with dicky digestive systems. Replace the chocolate chips with dried fruit or nothing and it’s … Continue reading “Banana Chocolate Breakfast Cookies”
The inspiration for this delightful twist on the classic parritch recipe comes from the ever-brilliant Foodess and it’s a new favourite in this house. You can use any kind of oats you want for this dish. I prefer the steel-cut oats because they have a nice texture for oatmeal, though they take longer to cook than … Continue reading “Peanut Butter Porridge”
