Last summer my sister, Julie, came up from Florida to visit/attend our brother's wedding.
(Julie and I)
I don't remember the whole story but somehow we ended up creating an adventure. We built up this adventure for a good month (probably longer) and because I was so excited to start this adventure I agreed to meet her at Chicago Midway Airport in order to not miss a moment of this adventure.
Our adventure wasn't to find a tourist in Chicago (ha!) or even the best Chicago style hot-dog or pizza!
It was to try, PeanutButter and Co : Dark Chocolate Dreams.
A blend of Dark Chocolate and Peanutbutter... COME ON FOLKS! Only our mom and middle sister could refuse! After a healthy spoonful and a lesson that PB and beer don't really mix (a lesson that I, unfortunately, learn frequently) we put the jar aside and went about business.The jar sat for a few days and I realized, I had to do it. I had to bake with it. Using a classic (gluten free!) peanutbutter recipe I created my first cookie!
Chocolate PeanutButter Adventures (slightly adapted from Paula)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Roll the dough into small balls Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes (if they are not done- continue to check on the cookies in 30 second intervals), remove from the oven, and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
Enjoy!
