THICK PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (125 grams)
- 1/4 cup butter (salted) (50 grams)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (100 grams)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour (130 grams)
- 1 pinch salt*
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips (130 grams)
- *If you use unsalted butter then add 1/4 teaspoon of salt instead of a pinch.
- In a medium bowl, cream until light peanut butter, butter and sugar, add egg and mix well.
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt and baking soda then add chocolate chips.
- Add whisked ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Shape into a log, approximately 8 x 2 1/2 inches (20 x 6 cm) and wrap with plastic, refrigerate at least 1 hour or even over-night. Or you can form into golf ball size dough balls (or larger if you want) and place on cookie sheets and refrigerate.
- Remove the log or balls from the fridge, and cut the log into 1/4 inch slices with a sharp knife (the knife may push down on the dough, so just reshape into circles). Place on prepared cookie sheets (you can also make fork marking like the dough balls if you wish, just lightly indent), flatten the dough balls with a fork (dip fork lightly in flour so the dough doesn't stick).
- Place either in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius) while the cookies are in the fridge.
- Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely before eating. Enjoy!

Pearl Earrings
There are few things in this world more synonymous with elegant women than a great pair of pearl earrings. A simple pair of pearls goes will go with everything in your wardrobe and goes a long way in creating a classy, expensive-looking style.
For an effortlessly elegant look during your next special occasion, go for that Audrey-esque look of a little black dress, pearls, and high heels. Add a low bun, and you will look unforgettable.
Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:
1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.
Every one of us casts a shadow.
There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.
The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."
"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
~J. R. Miller, "The Shadows We Cast"
