I love chocolate and peanut butter together, but Nick does not. Nick was out of town the other night so I decided to make some peanut butter chocolate cookies since I never have before. They turned out absolutely delicious.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups peanut butter baking chips
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
- Cream together the sugars and butter for a couple minutes.
- Add vanilla, then the egg, then the peanut butter. Mix on medium. Turn off mixer, scrape the sides and then continue until combined well.
- In a separate bowl, combine baking soda, flour, and cocoa powder. Add this to wet ingredients and mix until blended.
- Add peanut butter baking chips and chocolate chips and stir in.
- Use a cookie scoop, make one inch balls on cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 9 minutes until edges start to brown – dont overbake!
- Let them sit on the sheet for a few minutes to finish baking – that way they stay soft in the middle. Enjoy!
