Flour Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

   Hello all you people!

   I was going to wait until July 1st to roll this new site out, but I couldn't wait! 
   
   After waiting for a year I finally got the domain bushel-and-a-peck.com! Hazaa! I'm still working through Weebly because I'm used to the editor here, but my name no longer has ".weebly.com" at the end-it just has ".com"! 

   I'm hoping that this new look and having my own name will help me to really get this blog going! I've been at it since October 2013 (which, I realize in blog-land isn't that long), but I want this blog to really grow and change as I have! I plan in the next few weeks to add a new section to the site too-a health & fitness page! Although I have some crazy treat days, I am also really interested in health, and love fitness, and I want to share this part of me! So, look out for that!

   I hope you enjoy the new look; it feels fresh and happy to me, and I hope it helps you feel that way! 


    As for the recipe today (...speaking of health & fitness.....fail!), it's a classic peanut butter cookie, but way better. :)   I've made peanut butter cookies before, but these are a whole new breed of "yum"!  There is no flour to dull the fantastic peanut butter flavour, and the chocolate chip add-in is an obvious match made in heaven. I have also omitted the chocolate chips for a friend who doesn't like chocolate (I know what you're thinking, how can I even be friends with someone who doesn't like chocolate!!!) and the cookies spread more and were obviously flatter, but they were still soon tasty. 
   So, enjoy this super simple recipe! 

Flour-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups creamy or crunchy peanut butter (I used crunchy this time)
• 2 Eggs
• ½ Cup dark brown sugar, loosely packed
• ½ Cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tsp baking soda 
• 2 Cups Chocolate chips

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper if your pans are not so non-stick
2. Mix with your muscles or a hand or stand mixer the peanut butter and the eggs. Add the sugars and baking soda, and keep mixing until it's well incorporated and fluffy-ish 
3.  Stir in the chocolate chips
4. Using a I tbsp scoop, or just a regular spoon, make dough balls and place onto parchment lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with a fork (classic pb cookie). Keep these darlings about 2 inches apart from each other
5. Bake 6-8 minutes. You're looking for a barely set cookie with a touch of golden on the bottoms. They will set up a bit more as they cool, fear not
6. Let cool a few minutes on the cookie sheet, then carefully transfer to wire rack, and let cool completely

   Simple. Tasty. The End.  :)  

   It's the first official week of summer holiday for us here, and Wednesday is Canada Day which we're looking forward to! Tweed does a big how-do with a parade and celebrations in the park. It's always fun, and we're having some friends come to be involved then come back to our place after to hang out and have dinner and a campfire (hopefully, if it's not raining!).

   Well, I'm excited about all of this! Let me know what you think of the new look!

   I hope everyone has a great day!
