My cooking skills used to reach only to heating up a microwave meal. With my friend's encouragement, my 2009 New Year's resolution was to try at least one new receipe every week. I fell in love with cooking since, and find cooking the best way to quiet my mind and melt my stress. So I would like to use this blog to document my adventure, show off my results (all pictures taken by myself), and share the recipes I found or modified or created.

20090111 Peanut Butter Cookies
(SOURCE: Simply Recipes - Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe)
SimplyRecipes.com is one of my favorite websites. The pictures there are so pretty, and most of their recipes are very simple and easy to follow. This had been my husband's favorite cookie until he tasted the giant ginger cookies last week. Makes 2 dozen cookies.
INGREDIENTS
100g sugar
110gp brown sugar
110g butter
110g peanut butter
1 egg
170g flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
METHOD
1. Cream the butter for 2 minutes. Add the sugars, cream for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and egg. Mix together the dry ingredients. Stir into the sugar butter mixture.
2. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 190 degree C. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with a fork. Bake until light brown, about 15 minutes for chewier cookies. Cool on baking sheets for a minute, then transfer to rack to cool completely.
