Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows

Taking a break from the greens to enjoy some chocolate and peanut butter cookies!

Have you made this recipe from Isa and Terry's Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar?  This was my first time.  I think I ended up with a too-oily batter, which made the chocolate part of the cookie flatten more than it should have, but the cookies were still quite good. 

A little more like flying saucers than pillows, but tasty all the same!





















I've only tried a few of the recipes from this book, but I feel like this is the season for, among other things, cookies, so I want to give more a go!  What's your favorite cookie recipe, either from VCIYCJ or elsewhere?

  1. My favorite cookies are ranger cookies, from Have Cake, Will Travel. http://havecakewilltravel.com/2008/05/30/ranger-cookies/ There's the link. You can really use any fruits, nuts or chocolate that you like. I'm giving away one of Celine from Have Cake, Will Travel's blog, if you wanna win, just go comment on my blog entry-it's the most recent one. I love Celine's genius recipes for sweets.

  4. What a great picture, Amanda! Those cookies, even though you say they shouldn't be as flat, look super good. I'm not much of a cookie person but peanut butter and chocolate anything is completely up my alley.

  6. Mine came out the same sort of UFO shape, but still were damn tasty! I'm working my way through VCIYCJ, and these are definitely my favorites so far.
