Sunday Baking

Once upon a time my mom told me about a bakery in NYC.

I've not been there, but I will. Someday. 
They make really, really, really good cookies. And they are big. Not big like a pizza big, but big like thick, dense, chunky, and chewy and yummy. I like chewy cookies. 

Lately I haven't felt like baking much. I think it's the heat. 
But today was different. Scotty and I were standing in the kitchen wondering what to do with ourselves. 
I decided to flip through my recipes and found one my mom sent me a few months ago: a recipe for Levain's peanut butter chocolate cookies. I had all of the ingredients and it seemed simple enough, so, I made 'em. 

Voila. 


 Nectar. Of. The. Gods.
They are that good. 
Heavy.
Chunky.
Chewy.

My pals came over to watch "The Mask of Zorro" and I popped a plate of cookies on the counter. They indulged and l.o.v.e.d them.
Success. 


P.S. This is my 300th post! Yay!

Thanks for the reminder about these cookies! Your wonderful mom gave me the recipe a while ago and I haven't made them yet...that needs to change. I MUST make them...even though it's a wee bit hot to make something so heavy. I'll just turn up the AC!! ;-)
