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!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
