1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Sample the Cuervo to check quality.
Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest
quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one
cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure
the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in
the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off floor.
Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry
it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Check the Jose Cuervo.
Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon
of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.
Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.
Don’t forget to beat off the turner.
Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the Cose Juervo and make
sure to put the stove in the dishwasher.
I found this recipe and since it’s exactly like mine I decided to post it……….enjoy!
Peanut Butter Cookies recipe – 69 calories
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons packed light brown sugar (1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
6 tablespoons unsweetened butter, softened
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped (optional)
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Prepare the baking sheets with parchment paper or with a light coating of cooking spray.
3. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the powdered sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, butter and oil for about 2-3 minutes (until light and fluffy). Add in the egg and vanilla and beat for another 1 minute (or less), until combined.
5. Beat or stir in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
6. Using rounded tablespoons, shape the dough into balls about 1-inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet, flatten them using the bottom of a glass and use a fork to create a criss-cross pattern. Optionally, sprinkle a bit of chopped peanuts on top.
7. Bake the cookies in the top third of a pre-heated oven for about 5 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cookies have lightly browned on top.
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool for about 2-3 minutes. Place on a cooling rack until fully cooled.
9. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
Every time I get into a relationship, I get fat. It never fails, that I start cooking and eat and eat, until I fill so miserable, I can’t breathe. Why do we do this? We seem to want to try to satisfy the other partner at first with our expertise, in cooking. So, we try everything out on them. Before we know it, a few pounds pop up in the wrong places. There goes the waistline and a few other place I don’t like to mention. It’s just a mess, cooking, eating and gaining weight. I hate it, but I love to eat…….lol Is that what they call, being happy and content? Yuck!
