The Cookie Recipe
A few weeks back Heidi bet me that the Seahawks would beat the Vikings. Silly me, I took that bet. If the Vikes had won, I would have gotten some Marion-berry syrup. Alas, the Vikings pondered and I owe her some cookies. In fact, I still owe them to her because I could not, for the life of me, remember where I had put the recipe.
The recipe is from Jodi and some years ago she had emailed it to me. The problem is that I have no idea which account the email was in or (more problematic) if I still used that account. I even called her but she said that after she sent it to me, she probably didn't have it anymore. I had some small hope that I had blogged about it in the past and had put the actual recipe on the blog. I had blogged it here but no recipe was included. (Btw, that link includes a picture of me when I was somehow much, much younger.)
So, to make a long story short, I'm blogging the recipe right here and now so that I can find it again in the future. Take care before trying this one out, it's very yummy and the cookies are heavy.
Ingredients
In large bowl, beat together sugar, butter and peanut butter until creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in separate bowl.
Add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Unwrap candy, cut into fourths.
Stir in oats and candy; mix well.
Drop 1/4 cupfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 12-14 minutes.
As I said, they're a bit on the heavy side. Two or three of them make a meal. But they're also very, very yummy. Heidi, I'm one step closer to paying off my side of the bet.
