Cookie made cookies!

Haha....suddenly decided to test and see if the new toaster in my home can make cookies since it has a control which allows me to turn on the top or bottom heating coil or both.

Here's the end results!


I think it came out pretty well...mom and bro both said it was nice.

Personally, found it a little too soft and sweet...but it hardens up when it's refrigerated :) But the happy thing is that now I know the toaster CAN bake things! Just that I'll have to watch the time very carefully and bake at smaller time intervals in case the temperature gets too high and my things get burnt!

Here's the recipe:

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup chunky or smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar (I think you can reduce the amount by half if you don't want it so sweet)
1 egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
(what's the difference?! I dunno...so I used 1 teaspoon of double action baking powder instead)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (can replace with the baking M&Ms)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 375°.
Cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light. Add the egg and mix until fluffy.
Blend the flour, baking powder, soda and salt together well.
Add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips.
Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375°
NB: If you're using a toasted oven like me, likely you'll not be able to control the temperature. Instead you can try to shorten the baking time to 3-5 mins, baking in intervals until they turn brown.

Accomplishment :) next up...muffins perhaps?
