Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

So for the Brewer's Home opener I wanted to make something delicious to contribute to the feast we would have. So I wanted to make chocolate peanut chip cookies for some time now so this was the perfect opportunity.

The cookies I am showing you look pretty good. I have learned my leason. DO NOT PUT FRESHLY BAKED COOKIES IN A PLASTIC BAG. They turned into cookie debris. They were still good though and fairly easy to make.

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups of unsalted butter
2/3 cup of cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 cup of packed brown sugar (I think I used light brown)
3/4 cup of white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups peanut butter chips
handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

in large bowl cream butter, brown sugar, sugar. Then add slightly beaten eggs and vanilla. in another bowl combine cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Slow add cocoa flour mixture into the butter sugar mixture.

Fold in peanut butter and chocolate chips in mixture.

Refrigerate cookie mixture for 30-minutes to an hour.

Drop rounded spoonfuls (depending on cookie size you desire) onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for a couple of minutes then transfer to cooling rack. Cool.

Enjoy.
