The Great Cookie Caper
The other day, I was hit with one of those inexplicable cravings. You know the ones, where you absolutely, positively, must have that one specific thing or you might just spontaneously combust? Yeah, one of those. Only this time, it wasn’t for a double cheese pizza or a bucket of fried chicken. No, I had a hankering for something sweet and salty and downright nutty. That’s right, I was in the mood for some crazy peanut butter cookies.
The Casting Call
So, I rummaged through my kitchen cabinets and scrounged up the usual suspects: 1 c. creamy peanut butter, 1 c. sugar, and 1 egg. Yeah, I know, not exactly the most glamorous cast of characters, but trust me, when combined, they can put on quite the show.
The Plot Thickens
With my ingredients assembled, I was ready to get this cookie carnival underway. First order of business: Mix together the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Now, this might sound simple enough, but let me tell you, trying to mix peanut butter is like trying to get a cat into a bathtub. It’s sticky, it’s stubborn, and it clings to the spoon like its life depends on it.
Into the Fire
Next, I rolled the dough into balls and flattened them with a fork. I must admit, there’s something oddly satisfying about squashing those little dough balls under the tines of a fork. It’s like playing Whac-a-Mole, only without the annoying music and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Then, it was onto an ungreased cookie sheet and into the oven. Now, some people might be tempted to use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, but let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of living on the edge, praying that your cookies won’t stick to the pan.
The Grand Finale
After what felt like an eternity (but was really only about 10 minutes), my crazy peanut butter cookies were ready. I pulled them out of the oven and was greeted by the glorious aroma of freshly baked cookies. They were perfect- or at least, as perfect as something made from three random ingredients can be.
The Epilogue
In the end, I had two dozen crazy peanut butter cookies, and let me tell you, they were quick, easy, and good. So good, in fact, that they disappeared faster than a magician’s assistant in a sawing-in-half trick. But hey, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles, right?
So, the next time you’re hit with a craving for something sweet, salty, and a little bit nutty, why not give these crazy peanut butter cookies a try? After all, as they say, life is uncertain, eat dessert first.
