| Almost Flour-less Peanut Butter Cookies |
It was a nice weekend. The weather was perfect -- not too hot or humid. A nice break from the scorching heat of the week before. Lazy and lounging around were the motto. Only a tiny jaunt over to the park that involved resting on a park bench. And standing around watching a deer and it munched away. It literally ate everything in its path; despite its small size, it had a large round belly. We saw another deer, with small antlers. This was also a small deer, so perhaps male baby deers do grow antlers. But none of the deers we saw had spots anymore, so they were past the baby stage. There were also birds, chickadees and the infamous robins. Plus other more interesting birds that were flittering to quickly in between branches for us to get good look. But food-wise, we made cookies. Almost flour-less peanut butter cookies to be exact.
We like cookies and we like peanut butter. In fact, we like peanut butter so much that we wanted to use more of it rather than less of it. All peanut butter not tempered by flour. That is the way we roll. And it was a nice recipe since it was small, so we didn't need to worry about finishing them all.

It was very good. Rich and peanut-buttery. We also added half a bag of chocolate chip morsels because we were (well, I was) greedy. Peanut butter and chocolate ... a most wonderful combination.
