My roommates made a ton of cookies today for Family Home Evening (a church activity that happens every Monday night). I didn't want to feel left out, so I decided to make some cookies myself. Like usual, my time and ingredients were pretty limited, but I ended up with something pretty decent.
I'll say right up front that I think there is probably a better version of this. However, for a quick, simple recipe it works well and tastes just fine.
I started with the recipe here. This is what I ended up doing:
1 cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky/crunchy
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg equivalent of EnerG egg replacer
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp vanilla
1/2 cup crushed cinnamon rice chex cereal (this was an after thought, but I wanted to try it... and I didn't have chocolate chips)
I combined all of the ingredients, rolled the dough into small balls and placed them on a cookie sheet. They baked in a 350 degree oven for 8-10ish minutes. Then I let them sit for another 5-10 minutes (this is important with this kind of cookie).
Results: My roommate said they were grainy and my boyfriend said they were too sweet. My first impression was that they crumbled and were a tad dry, and then when you eat them they are chewy. I enjoyed it with a glass of Almond milk, and I was happy with the taste. These cookies soak up milk very well! Everyone said that they liked the cookies (and I did too), but there is some improvement to be made. Like I said originally though, they are great for a simple, quick recipe.
Enjoy!
