While I can make a pretty mean chili, salsa that can melt the paint off a house, homemade soup bowls to fill with dreams, and a good many other dishes I picked up along the way… baking is my passion!

Not just baking, but desserts mainly… and not just desserts… I LOVE COOKIIIIEEEESSSSS!

I am well versed in baking most types of cookies, but my most highly prized handheld delight would by my secret recipe of ………………..

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are not just anybody’s cookies, but my own twisted version. While I won’t tell you the exact recipe, I will say that it mostly has to do with HOW I bake them, more so than all my secret stuff I throw in before baking the dreamy mouthfuls.

Let me just say that I have perfected the art of perfect oven temperature, yummy ingredients, and a sore back from standing bent over in front of the oven, and watching for the perfect moment to pull em…

They come out golden brown and crispy on the surface, but when you break them open they are perfectly ooey gooey on the inside… A tall glass of milk is a must for these, as I forgot to mention that I make them about the size of an open hand, not a child’s hand, no no no, but a grown up people size hand…

They were Huge!

When my girls were small, we spent a great amount of time involved in church. Every spring the church would do bake sales to raise funds for our Children’s Ministries. I would make a triple batch of my cookies, wrap them individually in colored cellophane and ribbon, set up a spot on the church bake sale table, and watch the cookies disappear within less than a half hour. That’s a lot of cookies people, A LOT!

When I refused time and again to give up my recipe to some of the moms, I seriously worried for my safety a few times… lol… just kidding!

I did often jokingly say that my recipe was a Government Secret and if I told them the recipe, I would have to make them disappear… that always got some laughs.

So there you have it folks, hot off the press… we can bake cookies pretty good!

**The original cookies had mold all over them, so, as per my commitment to quality… These are fresh!

Not Sure…

Let me think about this for a moment…

Huh! I’m sure I can think of something, like I know my kids survived my cooking, and all that. But is there something specific I’ve cooked in the past that someone else might find dream inspiring, or anything?

Oh! I know… wait……… nope! It was on the tip of my tongue, and I almost had it, but then it was gone…

Wow! This prompt question is harder than I thought it was going to be, when I first started to consider an answer. Now, for goodness sake, there has to be something that has made tails wag and and tongues drool, right? Whenever I get invited to any social gatherings with food involved, hasn’t there been some item always being requested, “if it wouldn’t be a bother?”

For Pete’s sake, this is hard!

The only thing I can do, which is really nothing of a big deal, or anything… I did bake these little things once, sweet things, if I remember correctly. Once they cooled from the oven, my kids said that they were kind of chewy and kind of crunchy, all at the same time. Then they said that they could taste the flavor of nuts mixed with a sweet melty thing, but quite honestly I can’t remember what they call those things, these days.

Well, if any of you can think of something, could you please let me know? It would really help me out!

As a way of saying thank you, I made some silly cookies. I mean, their not the greatest, but it’s early and if you haven’t eaten yet, they should be alright…
