in which I somehow managed to spend three hours on a Monday cooking

[rivers_bend]

I have started listening to the Radio One Breakfast Show again, since Harry Styles showed up after all-nighting it with Nick Grimshaw after the Brits, and I can't really do any writing or reading when listening to the radio (or any music with words), so I did kitchen things tonight. I cooked grilled pork chops and a potato/yellow pepper sautee for dinner and then felt like baking, so I made some cookies. I wanted peanutbutter chocolate chip, but I didn't want to go out, and chocolate chips are stupid expensive anyway, so I found this recipe for chocolate cookies and added a peanut butter feature, since I didn't have peanut butter chips either.

Here they are ready to go in the oven:

I blended some peanut butter (natural, the kind that is only made of peanuts and salt) with some powdered sugar (until it was a soft dough. idek what the proportions were.) and used my tiny scoop and pressed a tiny scoop into the big scoop of cookie dough.

Out of the oven they looked much the same:


I have legit never put cookies in a cookie jar before, but I had this empty jar and it seemed perfect :D


I was only able to eat two, which is a tiny number of fresh-baked cookies (though to be fair I did eat a lot of proper supper), but they are super delish. I am taking the bulk of them to work tomorrow, because romanticalgirl deserves cookies.
