Sing it with me: Peanut, Peanut Butter and Cookies

The One with the Peanut on Top



I have had a craving for peanut butter cookies for about a week.  I woke up yesterday morning and thought well I have the ingredients here I should make some.    

I was very impressed and excited that I actually had the ingredients stocked in my cupboards.  It’s a sign that I am progressing towards being a competent baker. 

I found the recipe on my new favourite website the joy of baking and went for it! Everything came together nicely.  

I followed my Mom’s advice and used parchment paper on the cookie sheet.  Just as my wise Mother said, it prevented them from burning and they were golden brown after 12 minutes in the oven.  I was thrilled with my Peanut Butter Cookies.  

I took them to work and they were well received.  I managed to get some feedback from our resident baker.  She said they tasted great but were a little firm.  A great time for a Lesson from Kerri's kitchen.




 Today's Lesson:
To prevent firm cookies don’t over kneed them. Kneading is the process of molding the dough together with your hands.

Degree of Difficulty: 4
Execution: 3

Bon Appétit!
