At the end of the first book, the author put 2 recipies in it. I though it was kind of random since it never talks about the certain foods... anyhow, not to spoil anything but throughout the next 3 books these two food items become part of the book. The cookies are called "Ren's Cookies" (Double Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cream Cookies). I've made these cookies twice already. They are fantastic!!! Here is a picture of what they look like (at least mine - I'm not sure I did them right, I followed the directions the best I could) and the recipe for all of you peanut butter chocolate lovers. Enjoy!
Ren's Cookies
- 2 sticks of butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup dark cocoa powder
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 bag of chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Directions:
Cream the butter then add sugars. When it's light and fluffy, add eggs and vanilla. Sift the next 5 dry ingredients and mix with the wet until thoroughly combined. Add one package of chocolate chips (or as many as you like!) to the dough. Mix together the next 2 ingredients to make the peanut butter filling. Then place a spoonful of the chocolate dough on a baking sheet, top with some peanut butter filling, and cover with some more chocolate dough. Bake at 350 for 12-20 minutes depending on the cookie size.
