(peanut butter + sugar + eggs) * oven = cookie
Well, it's time to rethink the peanut butter cookie. The original recipe came from Alice Medrich's book, Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-your-Mouth Cookies
. I made two batches--one was exactly as she specified in her book, the other with my own addition. Mine won, hands down.

The cookie itself is crispy but gets stuck in your teeth like cotton candy. The Reese's Peanut Butter Cup I snuck in the middle? The chocolate and peanut butter melt and stick to your tongue. It's an incredible play of textures.
The best part? The cookie is only 50 calories.

| You'll burn off at least 2 cookies if you whisk by hand. |
