A Crispy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie that deserves its praise!

Celine, you are the best!

For the first time last night I tried a cookie recipe that resulted in a crispy, not chewy, cookie.
I LIVE FOR CRISPY COOKIES =D
Chewy ones are nice, but I remember having my first American chocolate chip cookie and thinking "Are they kidding me? The cookie is almost raw!" German cookies are rock hard, so I was really surprised, ha ha!
Come to think of it, maybe this cookie was supposed to turn out chewy and I simply used too little maple syrup!?



Ruby's picture totally caught my attention and I had been eyeing Celine's cookie recipes for a while now, I just couldn't decide which one to try.
But after I read what Ruby had to say, I knew I had to make it.
[...] the peanut butter cookie from the Chicago Diner. It's one of the most astoundingly tasty cookies/desserts I've ever had, and Celine's cookies taste just like them. Only Celine's version has chocolate chips, which translates to an even better cookie.
Sadly the bottom was burned. I tried scraping it off at first, but then thought screw it and happily gobbled it up. And the recipe results in 2 big cookies which is just perfect - the other one's waiting at home to comfort me after work!

I also had some of my mom's nut muesli and pimped it with chunks of mango, nectarine, kiwi (all covered up sadly) and banana slices. Then I added a few Tbsp. soy yogurt, mixed it with a squirt of agave syrup and topped it off with unsweetened apple sauce, a few raisins, almonds and flaxmeal. Delicious!!!



Work is crazy today, I can't wait to get home, relax and comment on your posts.
Have a nice day everyone!

Celine is a cookie GENIUS! In fact, she's the cookie Queen!!
It's almost near impossible to make a crispy cookie without it turning rock hard. So kudos to you and her for baking those awesome cookies. MMM!!

I can't remember if mine came out crispy or chewy! what is wrong with my brain?
anyway: it's not my recipe, I just downsized it by the way! I think I barely adapted it and just rewrote the instructions. don't want the good folks at Vegetarian Times to think that I'm trying to steal the recipe or something. :)

ps: I am slowly becoming American since I am starting to love on the chewy side of cookies. help?

We in America are a fan of half a mile thick underdone cookies. At least that has been a lot of my experience. I like chewy cookies alright, but the crispy ones are my favorite!

Your pimped muesli sounds amazing Lizzy, oh my goodness, I wish I could approach my breakfasts with even an ounce of your imagination, I might like breakfast better!
