Chippy Peanut Butter Cookies

I don't really remember where I found this recipe (maybe www.myrecipes.com), but these cookies are so easy to make. If you need a quick, sweet treat, you can whip these up in no time. Don't they look delicious?  I can honestly tell you they were.

 

Chippy Peanut Butter Cookies

 

1 cup creamy peanut butter

3/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp. baking soda.

1/4 tsp. salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels (I sometimes add more)

 

Mix first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined.

Stir in chocolate morsels

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place rounded tablespoons of the mixture 2 inches apart. I think I got 6 on a 9x15 sheet.

I baked my for 12 minutes @ 350 degrees on the first batch, and they were a little soft. I did the remainder at 16 minutes and they were perfect. You will have to find your magic number.

 

I am going to try these with brown sugar next time. I also sometimes add 1/2 tsp. vanilla. I love vanilla flavoring.

 

 

Something to look forward to...

When we moved in it was November and nothing was in bloom. Actually, that's not true. We have three really great camelia trees that bloomed all winter. This is the one on the front of the house. I don't know that I have ever seen a camelia tree this tall.

I am enjoying all of the beautiful flowers that have bloomed this year so far. But when I look back at these photos, it makes me excited about the fall and winter. Here are a few up close shots.

I have not posted anything in more than six months! We have finished what projects we had going, but I haven't shared anything on the blog. I can't decide which room is my favorite.  Here are some before and after photos of the library.

How boring was this room? Yellow walls and white bookshelves. I think you will see in the photos below that this room found its personality.

Wouldn't you like to sit in here and read? Hmmm, that give me a great idea. See ya!
