I’ll be frank. I may have disappointed myself with this recipe. It was too sweet and I didn’t taste the final product properly. But, since I so rarely bake these days, and my blog is called FudgieBakes, I wanted to post about it anyway to keep the name relevant.
I love peanut butter. A few weeks ago when a friend asked me to randomly name three things that I really like, I said peanut butter, Great Danes and Charles Barkley. I don’t eat it often though, but was really craving peanut butter cookies this week so I decided to make a batch on Saturday afternoon. Apparently weekend hangovers bring out the Martha Stewart in me.
Anyway, below is the recipe I came up with, based on various flourless recipes I’d read, and mixed in with some of my own favorite ingredients. I was looking for a thick, dense, crumbly peanut butter cookie, and these look like they turned out pretty well. The first one I tasted was only half baked, way too sweet and then made me feel sick, but I’ll try a few more later and give a better verdict. I think I added too much sugar, so the measurements below are modified to what I would have done differently. I still definitely recommend trying the recipe as it’s quick, easy and (maybe?) tasty. Or just leave comments about how you feel about Charles Barkley and Great Danes, either is cool with me.
Ingredients:
2 cups peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 white sugar
1 pkg. maple brown sugar instant oatmeal
1/2 cup chocolate chips (more or less)
2 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease cookie sheet
2. Mix sugars, eggs and peanut butter in bowl until creamy, then stir in dry ingredients.
3. Roll dough into small balls and place on cookie sheet. Press lightly with a fork to flatten.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Do not eat half raw, or you will feel gross and sick.

Warning: this post is rather irrelevant, yet totally relevant to me. Ends up there is a rather famous ice cream cake character (yes, those things apparently exist) named 

Anyway, I heartily recommend this place not really for the food, but for the atmosphere. If you are looking for the perfect spot to enjoy a couple of drinks, a bottle of wine, or more, along with some good quality snacks, this is it. Makes for a great date and casual evening out with friends. Oh, and this place is always packed so if you want to definitely get a table, go before 8pm!
