Day 9/30: Peanut butter cookies recipe

So, yesterday I baked the cookies that made me go all linguistic and etymological and what not. They’re rather interesting, I think – apart from the purely linguistic aspect – in that they don’t contain any flour, and still manage to be darn good cookies.

• Ingredients:
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg
• Preparation:
• Preheat the oven to 180°C
• Combine all the ingredients well together
• Roll small dough balls and put on a baking sheet
• They really shouldn’t be too big as the cookies will get flatter and bigger in the oven
• For the same reason, leave some space between them on the sheet
• Bake the cookies for some 10 minutes, until they start looking good
• Which is a valid and very scientific way of determining the length of the process
• Leave them for a few more minutes to cool down on the rack

Immediately after baking they’ll be rather soft, presenting quite a serious danger – one might think they’re TOO soft and need a few more minutes in the oven… Well, they don’t… That’s the whole point of leaving them alone for a while to cool down. They’ll get all crispy then, assuming they’ll be REALLY left alone…
