Lessons from a cookie

My mission this past weekend was to bake as many gluten-free dishes and treats as possible. We had three guests who required gluten-free cooking, and all in all, I think it went pretty well.

Until that second batch of peanut butter cookies. Two lessons learned:

First, Jif chunky peanut butter has way more oil in it than Skippy Super Chunk. The extra oil make the cookies spread, looking less appealing. Unless, of course, you're a dog, which leads us to...

Second, if peanut butter cookies are cooling on a wire rack on the butcher block, Lucy will, in fact, find a way to get said rack onto the floor. I don't know how she managed it, but she pulled the cookies onto the floor. She was at least kind enough to share them with Izzy. So we had two dogs with upset tummies. And no cookies for our guests.

All duly noted.
