Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Sometimes when I get too baked, I like to bake. And the decision this time around will be to bake some cookies. I came up with these on the spot; pretty much trying to use up what I have sitting in my cupboard. I wanted the cookie to be chocolate, so I mixed in cocoa powder with the dry ingredients base, which is flour, baking powder, and salt. The base of the wet ingredients are eggs, butter, sugar, and vanilla. (If you were to make regular chocolate chip cookies, you’d use brown sugar.) I had peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Mix those in, and now we have our cookie dough.Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Drop clumps off the dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack in your oven for 8-10 minutes. I yielded 24 cookies. I must say that my cookies were fairly large, so you could possibly even get 3 dozen if you want smaller cookies.
