It’s taking my favorite things–Healthy, Chocolate, and Peanut Butter–and rolling them into one happy package!
Say hello to this happy package. Hello Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies!
I’ve been waiting for you all my life.
Take that perfect skinny peanut butter cookie base, roll it into perfect balls, and then push them into little nests BEFORE baking.
By the way, you see that nice white background behind all these pictures? It is all an illusion; my photography room is in shambles.
For the past two years, I’ve been using the family room in my house as my photography studio because it’s seriously not being used for anything else.
When we first moved into this house, there were 4 rooms completely empty. A 3 Bedroom house with two living areas (living room PLUS a family room) is rather large for just two people.
Every other room has found a purpose except for this ONE last room. Oddly enough, it is the largest room in the house and the grossest room of all. Blue carpet, striped wallpaper . . . do I need to say more?
Now that I’m full-time here at VB, I’ve decided it’s time to give this room a face lift and actually spend time remodeling it. I’ll share the progress on Snapchat (username: VeggieBalance).
We have another long deployment to get through with R before we move down south. Of course, I’ve been looking at houses online because my inner-house-loving-dreaming-nerd loves looking at houses and torturing myself until we can actually make the move.
I keep finding houses 2x larger then our current house on acres of land for so cheap! Then I’m reminded, it is just the two of us . . .
What are we going to do with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths!?! I must ponder what to do with even MORE space (if that is even possible).
Meanwhile, you’ll want to whip up a batch of healthy chocolate frosting while these peanut butter cookies are baking.
Once you take them out of the oven, push the thumbprint down just a little bit more. It creates an epic chewy center that is to die for.
Swirl a hefty helping of frosting onto cooled cookies and you are ready to devour.
It is Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Thumbprint Cookie time. Ponder that deliciousness. 😉
