Burnt offering



I don’t know about you, but I am queen of late night snack cravings. One of those cravings happened to be peanut butter cookies. So, as usual, I googled “easy peanut butter cookies” and found one with only FOUR ingredients!



This is not what my cookies looked like!



However, the end product was a disaster. The cookies were burnt to a crisp! I put a second batch in for less time and found they were also burnt. So I recommend turning down the temperature of the oven quite a bit. And time your cookies vigorously. In fact, as a result of this event, my boyfriend bought me a little chicken cooking timer. Score!

Here is the recipe:

 

Easy peasy peanut butter cookies
1 c. peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar

Combine above ingredients. Drop by spoonful into lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees (Try 275 to start!) until done (about 5-7 minutes).
