Receta Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
The recipe comes from allrecipes.com, my main source of searching when I want to make something. These cookies never get hard which is a good thing for Grumpy's sake. As a matter of fact, he is the one who ate most of these (shhh, I didn't tell you that!). I loved the crispy edges, chewy cookie with hit of peanut butter chip. Perfect cookie for my craving.
These will stay on my list of cookies that Grumpy likes and cookies that I can make that he won't complain about. ;)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
adapted slightly from allrecipes.com
makes approximately 2-3 dozen depending on size of cookie
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1-1//4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups peanut butter chips
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl using hand mixer on medium speed, mix butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract with last egg.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and soda. Stir into butter mixture until combined. Fold in peanut butter chips.
Scoop by tablespoons (I use a small cookie scoop) onto parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes (I found I needed to bake at least 10 minutes).
Store in an airtight container (if you have any left to store!)
Notes: I got about 3 dozen cookies. Original recipe states it makes 2 dozen.
Tip: to soften butter slightly, place unwrapped stick of butter in microwave and microwave on high in 15 second intervals. Keep a close eye, you shouldn't need much more than 30 seconds or it will start to melt (depending on the wattage of your microwave).
