When I first started this blog in 2013, I was completely lost in my professional life, and we were pretty hopeless financially. We were living off a single $10 per hour income in one of the most expensive cities in the world. We were in trouble, and there was no denying it. So I started cooking and baking and writing because those are the things that make me happy.
Now here we are in 2020, financially stable with a brand new kitchen being installed. We’ve come a long way. I mean, we literally moved almost halfway around the world. But we also don’t really worry about money any more. We definitely don’t waste it, and we live a relatively simple life, all things considered. But it’s still strange to realize that I’m no longer poor. I’m immensely grateful. You have no idea. I hope more exciting changes are still on the horizon for us.
But some things never change, and my love of peanut butter is one of them. I don’t think I would have survived my childhood without it. I don’t think I’ll ever become a person who enjoys fine dining and fancy food. Keep it homey, simple, comforting, and delicious. Like these Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies.

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper.

- In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined.

- Scoop out your cookie dough onto your baking sheet, leaving plenty of room for them to spread out. Bake for about 8 minutes. The cookies will continue to bake after they’ve been removed from the oven, so don’t worry if they look a bit soft at this point.
- Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely, if you can wait that long.
