thyme for peanut butter cookies!

If not alerted by the title of this post, we have moved on to yet another cookie recipe.

These are peanut butter that I found off of a website, they were better than expected, crumbly and delicious.
If you want to make them I would recommend making the cookie size to a pretty small ball, so that they won't crumble, they spread out a lot, more than you would expect. Also make sure to refrigerate for ALL 3 HOURS if not more, I got a little lazy and took them out at like 2 and a half, it worked okay but the dough was a little hard to work with, so I wouldn't suggest taking them out early. Here's the recipe:

Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

from simplyrecipes.com

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

METHOD

1 Beat the butter until creamy, 2 minutes. Add the sugars, beat for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and egg. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar butter mixture.

2 Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

3 Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with a fork. Bake until light brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for a minute; transfer to rack to cool completely.

For chewier cookies, bake at 300°F for 15 minutes.

Try them out! They're super easy.

Update on the gnocchi: I'm making gnocchi for dinner tonight! I've so far quartered and peeled the potatoes, they were taking a really long time to cook. They need to be less firm, more mushy so I can put them through the ricer. I bought a ricer just for this, so I'm really excited to use it!

I'm in the process of considering buying an actual URL for my blog. nothing is decided yet but keep checking back for an update!
