Siriously Delicious – Chocolate Chip-Peanut Butter-Banana Cookies – Review

I became slightly concerned while reading the forward for Siriously Delicious when the writer indicated that even with her recipe, she was not able to reproduce the same results as Siri. The comment seemed to feel that Siri is the secret ingredient which makes her recipes turn out better and even with her recipe one could not achieve Siri level results.

Hoping this was simply a compliment to the chef, I forged ahead in the cookbook and was glad I did. The recipes throughout are easy to follow. Of course, I can’t know what Siri‘s results would taste like, but I think my results will be pretty great.

The introduction to each of the recipes interesting and worth the read, many recipes include tips as well.

After the introduction, the recipes are divided into six categories:

• Wakey Wakey!
• Halftime
• It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere
• Time For Dinner
• Sidekicks
• Sweet Treats

After the recipes, you will find included a conversion table and index.

For the included recipe I have chosen the Chocolate Chip-Peanut Butter-Banana Cookies because they are my three favorite flavors of cookies and muffins. Enjoy!

For Your Information! This was probably the first recipe that I developed on my blog that started generating feedback. Prior to this creation, I was certain only my mom was reading my online, food-related ramblings. It was a pleasant surprise to realize that people were not only reading, they were trying out my recipes and enjoying them. Now, I’m a cookbook author (what?!?), But I still have a soft spot for this sweet treat. Literally. These cookies are very cake-like in consistency. I would describe them as delicate, pillow-y fluffs of cookie goodness. Do I sound like a cookbook author yet? They are extremely flavorful and would make great after-school treats for the kiddos, for yourself.
