How to make friends with sassy red-heads on trains
If you’re like me, Mondays are possibly the best day of the week, because you finally get another half hour closer to Ted FINALLY meeting the mother – and, if you’re like me, you absolutely love the mother and everything she does, because she is made of pure adorable. Therefore, stumbling on the recipe for her “Sumbitches” cookies would probably make your day – nay, your week.
As an added bonus, this recipe is an excellent use for all of the miniature chocolates that are now on sale. Capitalize on the food industry’s post-Halloween chocolate cleansing by making yourself some of the most delicious cookies ever. Then use said cookies to become best friends with your future husband’s best friend who is currently having a mental breakdown – or, you know, just the person who sits next to you in class. It’s assignment season, and there isn’t anyone on campus that couldn’t use a cookie.
“Sumbitches” (makes about 36 cookies)
Ingredients:
1 c. butter, melted
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. peanut butter (not the crunchy kind, because…ew)
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
36 bite-size Caramilk™ bars (or any other chocolate bar you feel inclined to use)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix together butter, both sugars, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
2. Add flour, baking soda, and salt to butter mixture, mixing until completely blended. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
3. Shape 2 tbsp. of dough around each chocolate bar. Place 3 inches apart on a baking sheet or stone.
4. Bake 12-14 minutes (or until lightly browned). Try to wait a few minutes before eating them – although no one will blame you if you can’t.
