First things first- Happy Birthday Cookie(Josh’s Mom)!!!! Hope you are having a spectacular day.
How was your weekend? Hopefully the weather was just as beautiful where you are as it was here. My weekend involved tasty eats, time with friends, Josh & Frank, great workouts and lots of house/yard work. A few pictures from the weekend. Veggie Quesadilla from Poe’s:
This morning, Lindsay and I walked the bridge and then had brunch at my favorite place:
Lindsay came with treats!! She knows how much Josh loves key lime pie, so she snagged him a pack of this key lime pie gum:
She also shared some of her Artisana samples with me (thank you thank you!):
When I got home, I got to work on a new recipe, peanut butter flour chocolate chip cookies. I used the trader joe’s flour to create these beauties. This was my second attempt and they turned out really well (unlike my first batch ;)).
Vegan (or not) Peanut Butter Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut flour
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients:
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil or earth balance (1 stick) (or regular butter)
- 2 tablespoons flax mixed with 6 tablespoons water (or 2 eggs)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Chocolate chips (vegan, carob or milk)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Mix wet ingredients in one bowl and dry in another.
- Combine wet & dry ingredients and add chocolate chips
- Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a cookie sheet
- Bake for 10-12 minutes
- Let cookies cool for 1 minute on baking sheet then remove to cooling rack. Makes ~ 2 dozen cookies
The rest of my afternoon will be spent doing some work, changing up my group fitness choreography & watching football with Josh & this sleepy guy:
Favorite part of the weekend? I really enjoyed my walk this morning with Lindsay :) Who needs a therapist when you have fabulous friends?

Cookie - what a cute name!! :) Happy Birthday to Josh's Mom!!
Those PB chocolate chip cookies look so, so good!!
awwww! now this is what i would love to use the pb flour for.
Lucky you to get those Artisana samples!! And your muffins look delish... I love when you can see big chunks of chocolate!
I love how adaptable your recipes are!
Glad you had a good weekend!
My lower jaw just dropped to the floor when I saw those cookies! I'm.so.making.them! I'm happy that you had such a fun, yet low-key, weekend! <3
Argh. I was at TJ's this morning, staring at the peanut flour, but decided against it becuase I didn't know what to do with it. Now that I'm reading blogs this evening, this is the 2nd recipe I've come across that uses it! I guess I needn't have worried. These cookies sound great!

Our walk was totally my favorite part of the weekend. I did have some awesome Thai for lunch on Saturday, which is never a bad thing. :)The cookies look awesome, so glad they turned out well!
I love the new dessert gum, the chocolate mint is my favorite--I haven't spotted the key lime yet! Glad your cookies turned out--they look great!
Wow your on a roll with that PB flour! Mine is still waiting patiently in my pantry haha. Looks like a beautiful weekend!! I love brunch with friends! Happy Monday (well try at least :)
I really need to find some of that peanut flour! Sounds like such a fun ingredient to bake with.
Ive seen that gum on a few blogs and it sure looks neat! Did Josh like it?
Ahh lovely sounding weekend!
My highlights were a 7 mile run with my friend early Saturday morning, baking some delicious chocolate cookies with sea salt and volunteering at this super cool picnic opera! Crazy.
Delicious cookies!! PB and chocolate chips go together like PB and Jelly. ;-) So, so yummy!
I'm glad you had a great weekend! So true about a good friend....plus, you save lots of money on therapy bills by just gabbing with a good girlfriend. ;-) Best part of my weekend was going to the Colts game last night. I'm just so happy football season is back!!
I will have to get that gum for Josh:) Love the cookies too!
Lucky you! I've never tried Artisana, but REALLY want to try coconut butter.
Those cookies look great! Second time is a charm!
Your cookies look great! :)
...and I'm so jealous of the Artisana samples (I'm dying to try out coconut butter, as everyone talks about it). ;)
Those cookie look amazing - thanks for the recipe! I agree - good friends are the best - i'm so glad you enjoyed your bridge walk!
Love that your MIL's name is Cookie!
My favorite part of the weekend was just being back in AU - love going home and seeing friends!
I LOVE the gum! Well I haven't tried that flavor yet-I tried Mint Chocolate Chip...SO good!
That is the cutest dog ever!! I never knew they had key lime pie flavored gum. Sounds so good!
Thanks for leaving the tip on my blog. Once I make them, I will link to your blog. I am so excited to make them.
Those cookies look amazing! Question: does the peanut flour actually make the cookies taste like peanut butter? I have been wondering about that!
Happy birthday to your MIL! The hubby and I would LOVE those cookies!
Those cookies look delish! LOVE your new layout, it is so fresh looking! :)
I've seen those everywhere! I always wanted to try them, but I didn't know how the chips would work out!
Oh, I made those cookies once--so easy and so good :) I love walks with friends!
Sounds like you've had a fab weekend, best part for me was hanging out with my sister x x x
hahaha seriously love that josh's mom's name is cookie! and how approp that you made cookies with the flour she brought you :) i think she's gonna need to bring you more asap!

Those cookies sound fab, Erica!
I've never tried the Artisana products. I hear they are really good.

Happy belated bday to Josh's Mom!
I'll have to check out that flour - sounds interesting!
And sounds like you had a great weekend too!
when I saw that Dessert Delights gum, I brought all 3 flavors RIGHT AWAY. Key lime pie is much better than the mint choc chip........but strawberry shortcake aint too shabby!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE those cookies. will try to make ASAP. Think I could use PB2 for peanut flour?!
Those cookies look delicious!
At first I thought...where's the cookies for the birthday. Then I realized its her name. LOL
Glad you had a good weekend. I wish we could have more cool weather here. Its back in the mid to upper 90s right now!
These look amazing! I'm going to TJs to get this tomorrow~

key lime pie gum? how in the world did that taste?? do tell! i'm a mint only kind of gal as far as gum goes.
yummm...those cookies!
YUM! I've never thought of using peanut flour before...does it make the cookies super peanutty?
