I would rather attend the Republican National Convention. I would rather see the GB Packers win. I would much prefer to be stuck behind a school bus when I'm late fir work, and I would consider listening to Creed for hours before I would willingly go through something this icky again.
All those stupid little breakups you go through when you are in high school or college or your 20's- apparently those don't count. This counts. This blows.
For those of you that got married to your first love and didn't get to experience a breakup, ill try and explain.
You know when you order coffee or a burger to go, you drive away excited and then when you get home or a highway exit away, you take a sip or look in the bag and come to realize it's wrong?, and the petty, completely stupid situation almost makes you cry? ALMOST.
This is 1 billion times worse.
When you fall down and it doesn't hurt, but everything sucks so bad it puts you over the edge and you cant control the tears that start to pool? ya, not nearly as bad as this.
Have you seen the Dane Cook sketch on dating and "relationshits"? If not, don't worry about viewing it, I'm living it and this is a play by play.
"When you're not in love, everyone around you falls in love. It's like love is the party, and everyone is invited but you."
Well pity party of 1, I want out. I am grossed out that I am so...Depressed...So, I bake again. This time I don't hold anything back, and I'm not going back.
Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chunks
Use honey instead of sugar
Use almond butter instead of peanut
Change what you want- these are good.
RECIPE:
1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour (or sub partial almond flour)
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup old-fashioned chunky peanut butter (about 9 ounces) (or almond butter)
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar (increase honey if you omit)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup honey
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped (or dark, or peanuts, whatever)
Mix flour, oats, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat peanut butter, brown sugar, butter, honey, egg and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Stir dry ingredients into peanut butter mixture in 2 additions. Stir in chopped chocolate. Cover and refrigerate until dough is firm and no longer sticky, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 heavy large baking sheets. With hands, roll 1 heaping tablespoonful of dough for each cookie into 1 3/4-inch-diameter ball. Arrange cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake cookies until puffed, beginning to brown on top and still very soft to touch, about 12 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets 5 minutes. Using metal spatula, transfer cookies to rack and cool completely.
They stay soft and don't spread much.
(Can be made 2 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
