Cookies!!

Oh ya ... I made some. And they are AWESOME!! All the goodness of peanut butter, with none of the unknown ingredients of store-bought cookies! Yay!

So here is the "recipe" (not sure it is even a recipe it is so simple):

1 cup organic, pure PB (as in just peanuts ... nothing else)
1/2 cup sugar (or Splenda - I am told this works just as well)
1 egg
jam

Are you waiting for the rest? Cause that is IT!!

Combine the sugar and the egg and whisk it up a bit.
Add in PB and stir well.
Roll into balls about 1" in diameter, depending on how big you want them.
Make an indentation in the middle of each and insert a little bit of your jam of choice (I used a lovely organic cherry jam).
Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes. Let cool for a moment and then transfer to a plate and chill in the fridge to help them set.

I swear ... that is it!! I am sure that the genius who gave me the recipe could add to that ... would she care to in comments??

BTW, you don't have to make them all hoity-toity with the organic natural PB. I just like it better ... less sugar and other stuff in it.

I haven't done the math, but I imagine that these would have a decent amount of protein in them. For a cookie, that is. But watch out cause they would also have a lot of fat, what with all the PB. Can't eat too many at once, but they are yum! I managed to make 16 cookies out of it, but I think I made them a tad too big. I would aim for at least 20 next time.

Enjoy!!

P.S. This also made the dog bonkers. She wandered around endlessly wondering when it was her turn for some PB :)
