For the dinner date, I am sharing these yummy real cookies.
My sister gave me a delicious recipe for these chocolate peanut butter swirl cookies. This is my adjusted recipe, I used less sugar and salt:
makes 24 cookies
1 16 oz (455 ml) jar of smooth peanut butter
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/2c (85 grams) chopped milk chocolate
3 tbs cocoa powder
350F
Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper
In a bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar. Mix in the eggs and salt. Put half the mix into another bowl. Mix the chocolate and cocoa into this bowl. Make a ball with a tablespoon of the peanut butter mix and a tablespoon of the chocolate mix. Place them on the cookie sheets, 1 1/2 inches apart.
Bake at 350F 14-16 minutes, turning the cookie sheet half way. Cool and serve.
Lovely art.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteBoth the real and the artistic cookies look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThose spring flower cookies look lovely. And I'd love a taste of the ones you made.
ReplyDeleteCookies and art! I'm in. We do the same here and use peanut butter (and other nut/seed butters), for baking. I love it. Cheers and Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look marvelous!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring Ivy, I have to look for spelt flour.
ReplyDeleteYummy art and food

ReplyDeleteDear Christine I'm about to eat some of your peanut butter cookies, you've whetted my appetite ❤️. But I also think your painted cookies are cute!
ReplyDeleteAll the best!
Hugs, Traude 😘
Those cookies look delicious, Christine, and I like your art as well.
ReplyDeleteI crave sugar all the time so having things here at the house to even make cookies has become a no no.....I have to break this sugar cycle. Nice work on the painting and on the cookies
ReplyDeleteLindas flores te salieron tan bonitas., Y las galletas se ven ricas. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteCookies does look yummy.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
beautiful painting...
ReplyDeletecookies look yummy... love cookies
Your complimentary colored cookies are adorable. I love that they are flowers for Spring, too.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing at myself. When I first read your recipe, I saw 3 LBS (pounds) of cocoa powder. I thought where would I get 3 lbs of cocoa powder. Then I realized it was tablespoons. Please feel free to laugh at me. I DID!!!
Yum, those cookies look like more and a glass of milk!!
ReplyDeleteMmm, chocolate peanut butter swirl cookies! Now, I want some!! :) Your recipe doesn't list flour. Is this a flourless recipe?
ReplyDeleteYour orange and blue flours make me think of cut out cookies. See how the power of persuasion works on the brain? :)
Have a doodletastic weekend!
Cathy yes I guess it is flourless!
ReplyDeletewonderful art and yummy cookies!
