The Perfect Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies You Need To Try
Colleen Zewe

I absolutely love baking, and my favorite thing to bake are cookies. However, I HATE dealing with a lot of ingredients, especially flour. It gets everywhere and makes a mess. So whenever I find a recipe that doesn't involve flour, I jump right on it.

These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies really do taste AMAZING, even without flour. They're soft, chewy, and bake up really well - no unnecessary spreading or weird things happening in the oven. And with only five ingredients, they're super simple!

Preheat the oven to 350. Mix 1 cup of peanut butter (it's best to use regular Jif and not all-natural, as you need the salt as a stabilizer and the sugar for sweetness), 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of baking soda altogether in a bowl. The peanut butter is a little tricky to measure out because it's so sticky, but the mixture combines really fast and easily. I didn't even need a mixer - stirring worked just fine.

After that mixture is well combined, fold in your chocolate chips. I found I only needed about half a bag, and even that was a ton of chocolate chips.

On a parchment-lined sheet, make little cookie balls (I was able to get 2 dozen). Bake for about 12-14 minutes, then let cool. Because of the high fat content, these cookies need to sit and cool for awhile before they're sturdy enough to come off the baking sheet.

And that's it! These cookies are simply, quick, and DELICIOUS!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
