Peanut Butter Cookie Therapy

You know how sometimes there’s this thing that you need, you crave, but you can’t quite put your finger on it? You know you’re hungry, have a hankering for something, but you have no idea what it could be. And then, magically, it jumps out at you: “ahha! that’s what I’ve been wanting!”.

Well, I was having a full-on PMS day: grumpy, moody, craving that unknown something. I took a shower, thinking that would help me shake off my bad mood. When I got out of the shower, my house smelled like cookies. Like the Keebler Elves snuck in while I was in the bathroom and whipped up a batch of something yummy.

Well, it was better than that. My Sweetie had baked peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! I followed my nose down the stairs, and found these waiting for me.

The recipe is from the Foster’s Market Cookbook, a perennial favorite of mine. It has everything from simple summer salads to savory roasts and delightful desserts. Definitely worth checking out. (Note:while looking up the link I noticed she has some new books–must check them out!)

These peanut butter cookies turn out great every time, and with the addition of some mini chocolate chips are sure not to last long in my house. Thank you, Sweetness!
