Peanut Butter Cookie



Do you like peanut butter cookies? Do you like them chewy or crispy? I have made two batches of these (Spock loves cookies and eats them all) and they turn out every time. Depending on how you like them, you just adjust the cooking time. If you like them soft, go for eight minutes. If you like crunchy, crispy cookies, then go for ten minutes. And I don't measure the peanut butter (too much of a mess) so I just scoop it in with a big spoon, you will have to be the judge on how much peanut butter you like to add.
For the recipe, go to ww.allrecipes.com and look under Peanut butter cookies IV.
*We will be having a new competition soon so keep checking back!

Happy Valentine's Day!





I think the reason why I love Valentine's day is because of all the candy. Aisles and aisles of candy. Chocolate covered strawberries, Carmel filled hearts and the M&M's. I love M&M's. I also love sprinkles but that's besides the point. Hey, did you know that is impossible to find valentine sprinkles? I looked everywhere and finally had to ask a grocery store bakery if I could buy some of theirs. Thankfully, they were nice. In two days I made about 50 cupcakes. If I didn't have a friend to help me, I probably would have gone insane. I also gave away lots of cupcakes and ate lots of cupcakes. But I still have about a dozen or so left. Does anybody want some? I can't eat anymore.
Please. Please help me. I can't take anymore cupcakes.....

And the winner is.... finally.


Edmund won! Ya! I was supposed to make Turkish delight, but I didn't want to. So I made cake balls. Sorry I haven't posted for in awhile, life has been crazy. I have a cold and I have a visitor staying with me. You can read about that here: www.spocklogic.blogspot.com
So thanks for being patient and here's your recipe:
Make one cake following the directions. When the cake is done, crumble it up and mix in a can of melted frosting. (Heat the frosting in the microwave and you probably won't need the whole can.) Mix together to form a dough and then roll into a ball. Cover the ball with wax paper and freeze until firm. Then roll into little balls. Melt some chocolate wafers in the microwave, stirring every few seconds. When it is melted, drop cake ball into chocolate and cover. Then scoop out onto wax paper. Sprinkle the desired candies on top. (Note, chocolate hardens fast so put on the sprinkles as soon as possible.) The chocolate will harden by itself, so all you have to do is plate and serve.
Enjoy!
*Note, these are really rich
