When we last left our hero, she was dealing with too much frosting. Well, still doing that.

Specifically, I had somewhat more than a cup left in the refrigerator. I ate some with a spoon, but I didn't really want to finish it that way.

But wait, it's mostly sugar and butter. Ingredients in cookies! However, "how much" was a bit of a mystery. So I took about 3/4 cup, decided it was "not much butter" and "a lot of sugar", added 1 cup of peanut butter, two eggs, and flour to taste (to texture?)

It can't be that easy. It would've been a good idea to have added baking soda.

So, since it's kind of hard to mix in 1 teaspoon of baking soda directly to a fairly stiff dough, I took a little more of the frosting, a little more peanut butter (I scraped the bottom of the jar, so I have no idea how much it was), whipped it around in the mixer, took 1/2 cup flour and added a teaspoon of baking soda and stirred, and tried to mix that into the little frosting and peanut butter I had going. Whoops. Too much flour. So, I dribbled a little milk in until it was a little sloopy, and then mixed the rest of the dough back in. Baked at 375 for 11 minutes.

Came out OK! A little cakey. Too bad, we'll never have that again. (And, if it had been bad, at least we would never have had it again.)

The fact that it was a little cakey is interesting; I think it's because there was kind of too little butter. I have done various peanut butter cookie experiments before: http://www.olum.org/yduj/recipe/peanut-butter-cookies.txt

There's just a little frosting left. I'll probably just eat it with a spoon.
