For dinner I made eggplant medallions, prepared the same way I made them last week, but without chicken and with Brie instead of shredded cheddar cheese.
On the side I enjoyed roasted cauliflower, which came out of the oven first and was devoured before the eggplant medallions were done cooking.
Sometimes ya just can’t wait!
I also enjoyed three large Monterey Pasta Company lemon shrimp ravioli, which I received from the company to sample.
I was a little apprehensive about this particular flavor because a lemon flavor in ravioli didn’t really call to me.
I was pleasantly surprised though and really enjoyed the big chunks of real shrimp meat in the ravioli.
Though dinner was yummy, dessert was yummier.
Dessert
Tonight’s dessert was comprised of only three ingredients. Three *delicious* ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 c. peanut butter
Combine those three bad boys and bake at 350 for 10 minutes and what do ya get?
Flourless peanut butter cookies!
For as much as I love peanut butter, I have a hard time finding really good peanut butter cookies.
I often think peanut butter cookies are too dry or floury. I want moist peanut butter goodness and – trust me – these cookies deliver.
Sadie was loving the leftover peanut butter.
I had three bite-size cookies for dessert.
The cookies don’t really expand in the oven, so the dough is perfect for shaping into whatever shape you want.
Since Ryan is out at a soccer game right now, I made him three special cookies to enjoy when he arrives home:
I hope he likes his sweet treat! (I assure you the cookies will be devoured by the cookie monster *me* if he doesn’t 😉 ).
those cookies look amazing. i found your blog from amy at second city randomness. i LOVE peanut butter so i am going to have to try!! oh, the i heart you ones are adorable! too cute!
Oh my gosh these peanut butter cookies are so amazing! I had a wicked craving for something sweet today and these hit the spot!
I’m cracking up at all the pingbacks in the comment section of this post. Looks like these cookies are a hit! One of my readers left the recipe in her comment on my blog today, and I am so excited to try these. So simple, and I bet they taste amazing. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
i made these cookies – holy moly they were delish! i used raw sugar, which made little crunchy crystals – not big, just barely discernible – and they were fantastic. i ate three, but they weren’t bite-sized…oops 🙂
What did I do wrong Julie…when I tried these…they were so runny that they made a big thin blob and I couldn’t even bake them!! I used everything above (no substitutions)
what kind of pb did you use? i don’t know that it would work w/ runnier pbs (like naturally more).
Hum…I just used an organic Costco brand (Kirkland…I think). The batter WS delicious! Guess I will have to try again…oh darn! haha! 🙂
I just made the cookies, used brown sugar and added blue berries to the mix and they came out great!
Any sub for the egg so I can make it vegan by chance? 🙂
oh gosh… i have no idea. maybe mashed banana? or applesauce??? i really don’t know! wish i could help more!
I’m not sure about vegan but my daughter replaced egg with egg white only, Sugar with Stevia, and Peanut Butter with PB (powdered Peanut butter-a third of the calories of peanut butter) , and I ate one last night and it was delicious!
these are in the oven right now. it’s dangerous how easy these are to make. and how it’s even easier to add chocolate chips….
Okay can you say AWESOMENESS!!! THANK YOU!!
These are so easy and so yummy! My daughter and I just ate 4 cookies each…holy pounds.
Flourless peanut butter cookies. Amazing. Do you have a vegan recipe for this? I could try egg-replacer but i’m not sure that will turn out very well since it’s not moist like eggs are, or even applesauce would do right?
hmmm i’ve heard that a tbsp. of ground flax seed + 1/4 c. of water for each egg will work to “veganize” some recipes. maybe that would work for this one too???
i’lll try that out! thanks! 🙂
These are in my oven right now! I can’t wait to try them!
Julie, I’ve made this more times than I can count on my fingers. Its so versatile, easy to make, and I almost always have the ingredients on hand (or I go out to get the PB for this reason). Today I puts some nuts on it… so many variations! Drizzle some honey on it too! 🙂
Hi Julie!
I am totally new here in your “Universe” and I already enjoy studying all your delishhh recipes 🙂 Great job you did! After surfing yours and a lot of other blogs, I really feel like making my own website, too. Can I ask you: which homepage did you use to make your own? There are a ton of options “out there” and I have noooo idea which ones are the most liable and professional. Your site looks really pretty and creative!
Thanks in advance for your help!
I’ll definetely keep an eye on your site – probably more than once daily, ha ha 🙂
Love, Maria
i used wordpress.com. hope this helps!
