Peanut Butter Cookies

There seems to be a trend here.

Looking at my blog, it really seems like all I make are desserts and breakfasts (which are sometimes just desserts in disguise…don’t tell). So what’s up with that?? Is it just that I don’t make main dishes?

The thing with me is, when I make main dishes, I want them to be good. Somehow, I think it’s  way easier to experiment with baking than it is to experiment with cooking meals.

I don’t know where this comes from. I mean, my mom and my sister are the complete opposite: they will experiment like crazy when they’re making dinner, but then will follow baking recipes to a T.

And while this is not really an “experimenting with different ingredients” kind of recipe, it sure is a classic. And as it is my first day in Toronto,  I only have access to limited baking ingredients in the house. (I mean, who doesn’t have chocolate chips in their house?) This cookie recipe allows me to make use of what I have here.

I also realized how I don’t have NEARLY enough cookie recipes on this blog of mine. That needs to change.
