I love alliteration!

J asked me to make some munch-able dessert for the LSU game; thus, the great cookie experiment round 46.

1c butter

.25c brown sugar

.75c maple syrup

3 eggs

1t vanilla

1.5t baking soda

.25t nutmeg

1T cocoa powder - 'cause I saw it

Cream butter and sugar. Stir in eggs one at a time, then the maple syrup. Stir in vanilla-cocoa powder. Stir in the chickpea flour, nuts, and chocolate. Lastly, stir in the wheat flour. Bake @ 375-400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.

The only way to make a sandwich!

This is the cookie cake we had this past weekend. I used white whole wheat flour, but All Purpose flour works fine.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake

1 stick butter (2 sticks if using margarine)
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 T vanilla
2 c white whole wheat flour
2 c chocolate chips
1 c peanut butter (this is a guess, I usually just spread it on)

Heat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time, letting the mixture blend for each one. Add baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Add flour, mix until blended and let rest for 5 minutes. (The whole wheat flour needs more time to absorb the wet ingredients than normal all purpose flour.) Add the chocolate chips. Grease a 8-in cake pan and press half of the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan. Spread the peanut butter (use more or less peanut butter as you need to cover the bottom layer) on the cookie dough. Press the other half of the cookie dough on top of the peanut butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of Paul's (and my) favorite combinations are Peanut Butter and Chocolate. Lately I've been trying to get a good combination of the two in a cookie. This is my latest attempt, so enjoy.

1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
3/4 cup Peanut Butter
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Salt
2 cup Flour
1 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

Cream the Butter and Sugar together. Add the Eggs one at a time, until combined. Mix in the Peanut Butter then add the Baking Soda, Vanilla Extract, Salt, and Flour. Once the ingredient are combined add the Chocolate Chips. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
