Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Complementary Colours - Cookies and Cookies

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! I drew some cookies in complementary colours of orange and blue.


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.

Cookies 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!

I 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

Your complimentary colored cookies are adorable. I love that they are flowers for Spring, too.

I 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!!

Cathy Kennedy said...

Mmm, chocolate peanut butter swirl cookies! Now, I want some!! :) Your recipe doesn't list flour. Is this a flourless recipe?

Your 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!

Christine said...

Cathy yes I guess it is flourless!

The Orange and Blue were the colors of the University I graduated from and since I lived in the University town most of my life, I grew up loving those colors. So my partiality says "perfect choice" Christine :)
