Peanut No-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

IMG_3606

What do you do when you end up in an alternate universe in which you need to bake something but there is absolutely not a single tbsp of butter in your fridge?  Make peanut no-butter chocolate chip cookies, of course!  Check out the recipe over at Marcus Samuelsson's site.

Also, I wanted to let everyone know about the release of a new recipe website called Gojee, which will feature tasty dishes by some of the blogosphere's most talented food writers (yours truly included).  Please go check it out!

  2. Peanut butter's definitely my go-to on everything! I'd rather have toast nearly any day of the week with PB as opposed to butter...well, unless it's some kind of olive or rosemary bread. These look great!

  3. Is it even possible to run out of butter?! Regardless, these cookies look delicious. Nice and fluffy and chewy.

  7. Ours is a no butter recipe too. Cooks up wonderfully. As for no butter recipes I was surprised to find a brown sugar bar recipe this weekend with no butter also. They were really good and almost tasted like they had butter!
