The mothers and mother-in-laws have all gone home. The husband is of course back at work. And here I am. At home. Alone. Except that I’m not actually alone because there are two screaming children demanding my attention day and night. Mostly they are wanting food. Didn’t I just feed you yesterday? What is your deal? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that my kids are voracious eaters. They are my own offspring, after all. These cookies are a twist on the classic 4-ingredient peanut butter cookie (pb, sugar, egg, vanilla). Except this one has dark chocolate added to it, which cannot possibly be a bad thing. It also adds baking soda, which makes them a little bit more puffy. This version doesn’t even call for the vanilla, but if you feel like throwing some in I’m sure it would be great. You don’t really miss it though, honestly. These cookies are so rich. You need an entire glass of milk for just one cookie. (Which explains why we are running low…) Eric was very disappointed when I told him that I was bringing these over to a friend as a thank-you for a favor. She wasn’t home though, so now the whole plate is just sitting on the counter. Slowly and silently breaking my will.
