Soo… I almost killed my best friend’s husband. I know. I am the worst person in the world. In the whole world. Ok, so despite the fact that Mona is now convinced I hate her amazingly sweet and adorable love of her life… I really do love her hubby. Like really. Like my hubby misses her hubby since they moved to AZ so much that any time I mention his name, I get an “Aw, I miss that guy,” Ya, we love them. Really. For reals. Even though I tried to kill him.
So remember these adorable little Meringue Kisses I made? Well, I sent a bunch of them to Mona and her hubby because I made a few batches and I wanted to share the love (slash not eat 4 dozen meringues…). Totally innocent, right? Only if I had remembered that her hubby was allergic to EGGS. Oh yeah, the 75% egg cookie, yup I sent them to a man with a serious sweet tooth and a recently discovered allergy to eggs. Worst person in the world.
Even worse… I didn’t even realize the potential chaos I caused until I got this text after posting the Meringue Kisses:
And then I had a mini-heart attack. Luckily, it appears his allergy may be just to the yolks, and in my defense, the egg allergy is pretty new and we haven’t seen him since it was discovered. I’m still the worst person in the world and totally never living this accidental murder attempt down, which she shouldn’t. It’s totally deserved.
Which brings us to these little babies. I call them my “I’m-so-sorry-that-I-almost-killed-your-husband-Cookies” Completely egg-free, guilt free, and murderous intentions free!
Even better, super easy! All basic ingredients (plus flour that I totally forgot when I took this photo) and peanut butter which we didn’t have so it gave me an excuse to make more. What’s better than homemade peanut butter cookies? Homemade peanut butter cookies with homemade peanut butter, that’s what!
So, I whipped up some peanut butter. Really, it’s sooo easy to make! Don’t believe me? Watch Alton Brown’s video on it and take it from him.
Even easier than making peanut butter: these cookies. Seriously super fast.
Creamed sugars and butter mixed with a cup of the homemade PB and then the flour and baking soda mixed in…
…and we have a delicious EGG FREE peanut butter cookie dough.
Baked at 350 degrees for 15 minutes and we had these beauties. They’re flat without the structure of the egg, but that just meant we had Peanut Butter Cookie Crisps!
These little babies were sent Priority Mail to Arizona titled:
“I’m-sorry-I-almost-killed-you Egg-less Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies!” 😉
- 1 cup of 100% natural peanut butter (Here’s how to make your own!)
- 1 cup of butter
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 1 cup of packed brown sugar
- 5 Tablespoons of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 2 cups of flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Thoroughly cream the sugars, butter, milk and vanilla. Stir in peanut butter. In a separate bowl, mix flour and baking soda. Add flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. On an ungreased cookie sheet drop add small spoonfuls of the batter 2 inches apart- they will spread quite a bit.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes.
Such a funny written post, you had me giggling 🙂 Lovely cookies too!
This reminds me of the time I almost killed my own husband, and there was a knife involved! Hahah….things happen, you know. But I think almost killing a friend’s husband is slightly worse than almost killing your own, so yah, Tracy, you’re like the worst person! Just kidding!! You know I love you and the fact that you always make me laugh with your posts.
Hahaha, thank you, Angie!! Oooh I’ve had a few of those with my husband too… I am a lefty with a knife! You’re so sweet- even though you’re right, I am the worst! 😉
We got them today!! And they’re delicious! Although hubby did make me eat a few first and waited to see if I was still alive 10 minutes later, just to be on safe side…
Ahhh ahahaha. Great, now I have to worry about killing you too as the taste tester! 😉
I WANT THESE! I have to make them– YUP. I love that picture of her text, SO funnyyy– thank GOD they were only egg yolks… (actually what are the odds of that, you sending them cookies that DIDN’T have egg yolks…? Since most do? Except for these? And that’s awesome?)
Hahaha… this is insanely funny. I loved the name you gave these apology cookies 🙂
