There are certain specifications my cookies generally need to meet. For the most part, I do not like hard cookies. I prefer them soft. For the most part I do not like flat cookies. I prefer them fluffy. And for the most part, I require that my cookies have a very sweet element to them, whether that be chocolate chips or icing or whatnot.
This last requirement has kept me away from peanut butter cookies in the past. I’m not completely opposed to them, but if I’m going to eat a cookie, it better have all my requirements.
Then I realized the obvious-chocolate chips could just be added into a peanut butter cookie recipe…
A little bit of chocolate and these cookies met all my requirements! Of course, now I don’t think I could ever go back to eat a simply peanut butter cookie…from now on, these cookies will have to have chocolate.
Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup chocolate chips
Cream together margarine and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Add peanut butter and mix.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Mix into peanut butter mixture. Add chocolate chips.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper and spoon dough onto sheets.
Bake for ~12 minutes @ 375F
This recipe is very easy and the cookies quick to make. I definitely recommend it!
