I'm posting early today since I'm not really cooking dinner tonight. Hubs & I have our first ever parent-teacher conference @6:30! After meeting with B's teacher, Hubs & I are heading to Outback to use up a birthday gift certificate we got. Woohoo! Can't wait for the Blue Cheese Chop Salad and big ol' Raspberry Margarita. Maybe I'll have steak too. lol Before we leave though, I will be whipping up some Kraft mac n'cheese, I think we might have a few chicken nuggets buried in the freezer somewhere and they'll get a frozen veggie too; probably green beans (their favorite!). Dinner is served. Granny is watching them while we are gone, surly they'll get dessert tonight. ;)
Since my dinner is nothing to write about tonight, I thought I'd post this gem. I made these a few weeks back and my friend A wanted the recipe! Here ya go, A!
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
makes 48
2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup coarsely chopped cocktail peanuts
Ganache
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
Garnish
chopped peanuts
1. Heat oven to 350* F. Beat peanut butter, sugar, eggs, and baking soda in large bowl with electric mixer 2 minutes or until smooth and blended. Stir in chopped nuts.
2. Drop level tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart, flat side down, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake, one sheet at a time, 10 minutes or until cookies are puffed and slightly golden. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
3. Ganache: Microwave cream in glass bowl on high 1 minute or until it just begins to simmer. Add chocolate chips; let stand 2 minutes. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth; spread over half of cookie tops and sprinkle with chopped nuts. If ganache begins to firm up, microwave a few seconds at a time until easy to spread.
These are very rich cookies, but oh-so-good. I got this recipe from Woman's Day magazine. I guess I'm old since I read that ol' rag.
