I have an addiction: I'm a dessert-a-holic, I'm sure its no secret to anyone who knows me but i can't fight the urge to bake and when i bake i usually eat. i ate 12 snicker doodles the other night. i wanted to vomit, but didn't because i was sure they wouldn't taste as good as on the way down. then the next day I made monster cookies (my favorite) I only had 2 and froze the rest (so last min i can have my favorite cookie of course, all cookie-holics do this right?) but made up for it by making chocolate chip pumpkin bars, with cream cheese frosting (i only had 1, saved a few and gave the rest away) but the next day i ate 2 more cookies (it could have been more, whose counting?) of the leftover monster cookies (they are better the next day) and stared the bars down all day. i was fine, i didn't need dessert. then my diabetic husband decided at 8:30 he needed a dessert and my choices of what to make were: chocolate souffle, peanut butter cookies or cheesecake. "surprise me" he said so i pulled up a PB cookie recipe and found yet another weakness, the best cookies ever!
It seems like I have become partial to chocolate chip cookies, i have a few really good recipes and they are always satisfying, sugar cookies, snicker doodles and Peanut butter cookies always seem to disappoint, they are never as good as I want them to be, and sugar cookies take to long for how long they last! but then I found Martha Stewart's recipe for snicker doodles.. YUM! so i tried her peanut butter ones! best ever!! she says to cook for 18-20 min and rotate halfway through, but reviews said 9-15 min and that worked good for me. i dipped half of them in milk chocolate, gotta add the chocolate right? they melt in your mouth, no joke. try them. and make em big~
Peanut Butter Cookies
8 T butter
3/4 C peanut Butter
1/2 C Sugar
1/2 C dark brown sugar ( i used regular and it worked just fine)
1 egg
1/2 t vanilla
1 C flour
3/4 t baking soda
350 for 14 min (i checked them at 10)
take out when golden brown and cool on wire rack almost immediately to keep the soft yet crunchy taste.

I've never found an awesome PB cookie recipe so I'll have to try this!
And I'm also a dessert-a-holic. And I plan on continuing to indulge!
Oh my goodness I am so hungry right now. That was cruel.
To die for PB cookies dipped in milk chocolate??? Are you kidding me??
I am a little mad at you for this post. I am a baked goods addict, too. The only way I can lose my baby weight is by swearing it all off, so that's what I'm doing right now. I have big plans for my birthday, though.
How dare you trying to drag us down with you to your cookie addict hell. I don't know if I will ever forgive you for this one!
