Peanut
Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
We
can’t make up our minds: Are these chocolate chip cookies with
peanut butter or peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips. Either
way, these are great. Since these are loaded with peanuts, they are
even better. Add this to your favorite recipe file. (Important: see
the baker’s note below.)
Ingredients
1 cup butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all-purpose
flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups semisweet
chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups salted snack-type peanuts
Bake at 375 for
nine minutes.
Directions
Preheat the oven
to 375 degrees
1. Cream the butter
and sugars together with the paddle attachment of your mixer. Add the
salt, peanut butter, honey, egg, and vanilla and beat until smooth.
2. Add the flour and baking soda and beat until combined.
3. Mix in the chocolate chips and peanuts.
4. Drop tablespoons of dough on an ungreased baking sheet leaving room
for the cookies to spread. Pat the dough down with the back of a spoon
until 1/2 inch thick.
5. Bake for nine minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Remove the
cookies from the oven, let them sit for about one minute, and then remove
them to a wire rack to cool.
Variations:
For a less chocolatey
cookie, use milk chocolate chips.
Baker’s
Note: There is quite a difference in the consistency
of peanut butters. This recipe was developed using Adams 100% Natural
Peanut Butter. Other brands with hydrogenated oil may make for a stiffer
dough. If your dough is stiff enough to do so, make the dough into balls
and flatten them to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
