Receta Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies (And a KitchenAid Stand Mixer Giveaway!)
I have something both sad and hilarious to share with you about my husband today. And adorable. And ridiculous. Basically, it’s one of my favorite husband stories to date.
The other night I made pork chops with a pan sauce (remind me to share that recipe with you guys because oh my word) and the husband worked late. When he got home the sauce had congealed a bit, as sauces likes to do. It was pretty thick and he was staring at it a bit worriedly as I told him what I had made for dinner.
“Is that a wasabi sauce?” he questioned me, pointing to the brown pan sauce I had next to the pork chops.
Um, no. I did not make a wasabi sauce for our pork chops for two reasons. 1) No one here likes wasabi and 2) just no.
So I replied to him that no, it wasn’t wasabi, and besides, isn’t wasabi usually green?
At which my point, my dear, sweet color blind (for real) husband replied, “Oh. I thought it was green. Well, does it have peanut butter in it? It looks like peanut butter.”
I told him what the sauce was made of and went on about my business when all of a sudden I was struck by what he had said. He thought the sauce was green. He thought the sauce looked like peanut butter.
“Husband,” I asked, “what color do you think peanut butter is?”
You guys. That man has spent 33 years thinking that peanut butter was green. Just imagine what his PB&Js look like to him.
I’m used to him mistaking colors or asking me if his clothes match (they usually do not), but he’s always known that he was wrong about the colors. Grass looks brown to him, but he knows it’s actually green.
He just really, truly believed that peanut butter was green. Naturally, I will never stop teasing him about this. I mean, it’s so sweet and pitiful all at once. The poor guy. I just want to hug him sometimes. Usually when he comes out of the bedroom dressed in mismatched clothes for work.
Anyway, this discovery led to another discovery…he also thought that chocolate chip cookies were green. Green cookies! My husband is such a goof.
And, so I would just like to tell you that these rich, buttery shortbread cookies are not green, ok? We love these cookies. Unlike a traditional chewy chocolate chip cookie, these aren’t overly sweet and have a bit more of a crunch to them. They’re just a really nice change from the standard chocolate chip cookie and the recipe is only 4 ingredients, all of which you most likely have on hand right this minute.
