I may have mentioned this before, but I take my cookie game pretty seriously. Like, we’re talking Level: Cookie Snob. There are not enough meals in this lifetime to waste even one bite on a medium-good cookie. No, friends. We go big (and soft, and chewy, and leaning towards salty) or we go home. comment icon 76 more comments When I first flipped through the new Love Real Food cookbook that my friend Kathryne wrote, I just FELT like a boss. I imagined myself making all the meatless dinners – you know, the savory ones that are actual dinners. I bookmarked at least half of the recipes. I was so ready. And then, instead of making dinner, I went home and turned my oven on and made cookies on a random Monday night. I only needed one look at the picture of those peanut butter cookies before it was on. Is it even obvious why?
How To Make Our Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:
(Tell me you can look at those gooey cookie insides without dying. I dare you.) So then, the next night, I finally made one of the other recipes, right? Girl. SO WRONG. I’ve made these cookies every other night for the last week and a half and I have approximately zero plans to stop. The rest of the book is genius and completely gorgeous, honestly. I could look at it all day. It’s just that right now I’m being super basic and these cookies are having a hard time leaving me alone. I knew we had crossed the line of true Cookie Obsession when Bjork opened the fridge a few days ago and started rummaging around. “Linds. Where are those cookies?” And then you have one of those moments where you realize that you are such a good wife/person/cook that you’ve made a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie into AN ACTUAL DIETARY STAPLE of your life. It is not just a bonus-fun-treat; it is now an expected fridge item. If you are looking for a cookie that is any of the following:
easy peanut buttery soft and lovely inside a tiny bit crispy and craggly outside gluten free refined sugar free eeeeeeasy
then you have found your peanut butter chocolate chip cookie match. Please go forth into the weekend and love these cookies well. And they will love you back, like only the best cookies can do. Guys. If you like meatless recipes and pictures of cute dogs (ILYSB Cookie!) and you’re a real food cook, GO. Get this one. Not sponsored, just passionate! ♡ You will love it. 4.7 from 17 reviews Kathryne’s yield in the book is for 42 cookies, but I like my cookies to be on the XL side, so I used a little bit of a larger scoop than what she recommends which left me with about half that many cookies. Kathryne says that you can use 1 1/2 cups brown sugar in place of the coconut sugar. I sprinkled the tops with sea salt. Couldn’t resist.
