I took advantage of a quiet Sunday afternoon and got back in the kitchen to bake. I was craving a warm chocolate chip cookie. When I traveled for work I often stayed at Hyatt Place hotels and one located in Dallas would heat up a chocolate chip and peanut butter cookie for me almost every night. It was a simple comfort of home that made hotel living easier to handle. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
1. Preheat oven to 350°
2. Beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add vanilla and egg, beat until incorporated
3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Add chocolate chips until incorporated
4. Drop by the spoonful onto greased baking sheet. Makes about 12 cookies.
5. Bake for 13-18 minutes, until edges are slightly brown
6. Let cool and serve

For the last few weeks I’ve avoided the kitchen. I know, what’s wrong with me!? I think the Texas heat plus the lack of interest in food won, but I am happy to report I have rediscovered this room again!
This week I’ve been busy in the kitchen. My latest goal is to add more vegetables to every dish. Doesn’t hurt to sneak a few in here and there. A food processor is your best friend 😉 Today I’m sharing a pie recipe that requires no cooking. Glorious, another easy dessert recipe!
Another obsession of mine (besides black and white everything!) is peanut butter. So today is a Peanut Butter Pie from allrecipes.com. Thank goodness for Pinterest because my mom used to make this pie for me all the time, but I’ve misplaced the recipe. The one I’m sharing is pretty close.
The original recipe is for 2 pies, but I’m giving instructions for 1.
1/2 8oz package of cream cheese
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
8oz package frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust
I try to make this pie 1 day in advance so it can stay in the freezer overnight. Let it thaw just a little before serving so it’s cold and creamy. Great summer dessert.
Until next post…xoxo Becca
