Do You Believe in Magic... Cookies???

I have to say I am pretty impressed with myself right now.  I had heard of these cookies on Food Network years ago, from one of my favorite tv chefs, the ever adorable Paula Deen, and always wanted to try them, but never really did anything about it.  Why you ask? I have absolutely no idea.
But I finally did it.

What are these cookies you say?

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies... AKA MAGIC Peanut Butter Cookies.

Now I kid you not, if you love Peanut Butter Cookies, you will not be disappointed.  Even if you don't love them- they really are absolutely amazing!

And they can even be made somewhat healthy! (GASP! A healthy cookie WITHOUT tasting like cardboard... and filled with all kinds of fiber? nonsense! :))

And the real kicker is... you probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen, so when the mood hits... you are set to go!!!

The only downside is it doesn't make a whole bunch... maybe 3-4 dozen depending on how big you make them, but still... if you want to make them one night at 3 am when you get a sweet craving- go for it! You can even freeze this dough and cut it up later! See I told you! Amazing!!!

Magic Cookies- From Paula Deen on Food Network :)
2 cups Peanut Butter**
2 eggs**
2 2/3 cup sugar **(now see, you can go as low as 2 cups -like me- but however you wish to do it is up to you)

**and here is where you can make it more healthy... you can totally use natural peanut butter, egg substitute, and Splenda... and this would be a cookie you would be proud to serve to your kids and they wouldn't know the difference... seriously. My kids are raging sweet a holics... and they didn't know any better... hehehehehe ;)

You put all the ingredients in a mixer (actually you can use a bowl and wooden spoon if you so desire to  mix this, but I am lazy like that...) mix til well combined... and you're done. Put on a baking sheet and smoosh (is that the correct term? squish? mash? well... whatever it is you do to get those criss cross markings on your cookies :) )  Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. I did have to bake a little longer or they would fall apart on me... but I guess it depends on your oven. Mine is older than me so it's a bit... temperamental at times :)

Seriously... that's it. No joke. No fancy ingredients, no complicated equipment or long drawn out difficult steps... And they bake up all chewy and crisp on the outside just like you would expect an awesome peanut butter cookie to be.  And impressive to say the least :)

You're Welcome :) 

Now GO ... make some delicious cookies! And if you feel super adventurous... skip the squoosh and add a Hershey's Kiss on top :) ... you daredevil you!

Sweet Dreamz all!!! :)
