The recipe was pretty basic cookie recipe, although I did have to make one modification. I typically only buy unsweetened natural peanut butter, and in the description for this recipe it basically flat out says use the sweetened stuff. But since I didn't have a choice I went for it with the natural. The dough came out great and I rolled out the cookies and flattened them with the fork prong method.
I think the smell of these cookies baking is awesome. I love anything with peanut butter, so I have to admit these cookies are very very hard for me to pass up. See here's the deal. I really enjoy working out and trying to eat healthy, so thoughout this process I have been trying to do my best to not completely binge and eat everything I make (sweets and carbs are definitely a weakness of mine). So far I've been doing good at this task, but tonight was definitely a challenge with these cookies. While I did try a bite of one, I stayed strong and stopped with that bite!
The texture was great with a slightly crunchy outside and soft, chewy inside. I'm sure that the flavor would have been a little sweeter with the other peanut butter, but to be honest I loved them just the way they came out with the natural butter. So 17 recipes down and only a couple hundred more to go. The journey has only begun!
