I love food. I do. Imagine a seen from Kenan & Kel. Remember how Kel loved him some orange soda?
Who loves food? I love food. Is it true? Mmm-hmmm... I do. I do. I do-ooh.
I love food and I love to cook. (Add the brown skin and you have THE BROWN SKIN FOODIE) Because of these two things, I have to LIKE working out but that's another post. And I'm so glad that people like me who love food in all its glory have a nice title, "foodie". It sounds so much better than glutton or greedy @$$.
So yesterday, my sweet tooth got to kicking and I thought to myself, Self, we still have some chocolate chips from those chocolate covered strawberries you made. You want some cookies? Yes, let's make some cookies!
I searched the net, internet that is, for some recipes. I lost my chocolate chip recipe from Martha Stewart and they were dreamy cookies. I check that pantry and what do you know... PEANUT BUTTER!!! It's on now! I only had about a cup of chocolate chips. Yes, I poured those bad boys out into a measuring cup to make sure I wouldn't be wasting my time. There is nothing worse than having a craving and not having everything you need to get the party started. Boils my blood.
Anyway, I bump into this recipe from Canarygirl.com. "The Yummiest Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies". Word? The yummiest? I must try them. I pulled all of the ingredients out and got busy. The recipe is as follows:
"Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Preparation:
First of all? I recommend doubling the recipe.
You won’t regret it, though your butt might. lol
Preheat oven to 375ºF (175ºC).
Line a cookie sheet or two with parchment.
Cream butter and sugars until creamy, then add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Add Peanut butter and continue to beat until combined.
Add flour, baking powder and salt and stir to combine.
Add chips and stir again.
Drop small spoonfuls of dough onto parchment (you should get a dozen per sheet).
Bake 12 minutes or until just golden.
Remove from oven and allow to rest on the sheet 1 minute before removing with a spatula.
Serve with gallons and gallons of milk.
If you have kids, hide a stash for yourself, because these only lasted 2 days in my house. And I doubled the recipe. I had 3 cookies out of about 6 dozen that were baked."

I did not double the recipe. This recipe made more than enough. And they were delicious. See a couple of my pictures below.
I still have quite a bit left. Hopefully, they don't last too long. ;o)
