Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

I'm just going to apologize right now.

Put away your bathroom scale. Break out the fat pants with the elastic waistband.

These cookies are going to rock your world.

Last time I was in Florida my sister made these cookies. She's a genuine badass in the kitchen when it comes to cookies, but this time she even outdid her normally awesome self.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Rice Bites

Only fascists don't like chocolate and peanut butter together.

I was just at my sister's house for a week, mooching off their awesomeness while TA is away for work. My sister happens to make some pretty damn delicious cookies - but this time she seriously surpassed herself.

I don't know how she did it (I'm pretty sure her secret ingredient is crack), but she made the best damn chocolated-chocolate-peanut butter cookies in the entire universe. They were chocolate cookie with chocolate and Reese's peanut butter chips in them. These cookies, disseminated around the world, are so awesome they could stop global warming.

Breakfast on Saturdays

So, I woke up this morning with a real hankering for Egg's Benedict. Alas, I had no English muffins or ham slices. Instead I whipped up some pancakes and topped them with creamy peanut butter, ripe bananas, and pure maple syrup. A few shavings of fresh nutmeg and we're good to go.

I usually have some baking mix in the house for when I make chicken and dumplings. For some reason I just prefer Jiffy over every recipe I've tried for dumplings - I know, I'm so lame. Believe me, if we were face to face I'd never admit to using a boxed baking mix.

So, feeling incredibly lazy I thought I'd try out the mix for pancakes. They were...okay. Now, I say only okay because I like fairly thin pancakes. These babies poofed up like they were a macho man's chest after his football team just won. Husband liked them plenty, but I was only so-so on them.

I mean, for the amount of work put into this breakfast it was pretty damn tasty, don't get me wrong. I'll just have to play around with the batter to perfect some lazy weekend pancakes. But, if you like big, thick, fluffy pancakes you can't go wrong with these babies.
