As I have documented plenty here on this blog, I love to bake. Between the diabetes and my attempts to lose weight and trying to be supportive of John’s efforts to lose weight, I haven’t been baking nearly as much as usual. I miss it. And I miss the yummy treats I used to bake. So, in honor of my birthday on Thursday, I’m going to make cookies tomorrow night. Here’s where you come in. To make it a little more fun, I’d like you guys to vote on which cookie you think I should make. The options are:
Crunchy Jumbles: a childhood favorite of mine, these are essentially chocolate chip cookies with less brown sugar and raisins and rice krispies. They are crunchy and jumble-y just as their name implies, and delicious too.
A) Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip: This one’s pretty self-explanatory.
B) Classic Chocolate Chip: Can’t go wrong with Nestle Toll House.
C) Peanut Butter Fudge Tarts: You take peanut butter cookie dough and put it into little mini-muffin tins. Then you fill the peanut butter with sweet melted chocolate. It’s pretty darn tasty.
D) Continuing on the peanut butter theme, Peanut Butter Brownie Cups: These are technically not a cookie, but they are pretty close, so I’m including them. You make brownie batter. You put it in full size muffin tins. You drop a Reese’s peanut butter cup in each muffin compartment, and then top with more batter. They kick ass.
E) Oatmeal Chocolate Toffee Squares. The name pretty much says it all. This is an easy to make bar cookie that requires almost no mixing or real effort on my part. Nice and simple.
F) Apple cupcakes. Again, not a cookie, but I felt I should have something fruity, and my only fruit cookie is a pumpkin spice cookie. They are really good, but I’m just not in the mood for them right now. The apple cupcakes, on the other hand, are amazing.
Which option sounds best to you? Vote early, vote often!
I'm voting for the peanut butter brownie cups. Not only cause they sound good, but because they kick ass. I'm in favor of food that kicks ass.
I'm voting for D - the peanut butter brownie cups. I'm drooling over here just thinking about them.
I'm voting for the brownie cups, too. My mouth is watering!
Now I really really want a cookie.
make the oatmeal white chocolate cranberry ones and would you part with the recipe for the oatmeal toffee bars??
I am up for anything with chocolate and peanut butter. AND I can give you my mailing address for shipping purposes.
Your recipe for the Peanut Butter Brownie Cups sounded so good I had to try them! I think next time I'll make them as mini brownies, to capitalize on the flavor of the peanut butter cup. Thanks for the wonderful idea!
