Is it Christmas yet?No?Then I have more baking to do.
And today it'sDecadent Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies.
Ingredients:1 1/2 cups peanut butter1 stick unsalted butter2 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar3 large eggs1 TB vanilla extract1 1/2 cups flour2 1/2 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt1 1/2 cups roasted peanuts1 pound bittersweet chocolate, choppedI only had 4 ounces of bittersweet,so I used that and 12 ounces ofNestles mildly sweet special dark chocolate.Note: Don't use a hand-held beater for this.I was using my standing mixerand near the end,it was SMOKIN'.It's a rather sturdy dough.Beat peanut butter and butter until creamy.Gradually beat in brown sugar.Add eggs one at a time,beating after each addition.Beat in vanilla.Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in small bowl.Add to peanut butter mixtureand stir until just combined.Mix in peanuts and chocolate chunksCover and refrigerate for several hoursor overnight.Butter cookie sheets.Shape dough into small ballsand place on sheets about 2 inches apart.Bake at 325 degrees about 12 minutesor until tops of cookies are light brown.Cool on sheets for 5 minutesthen transfer to rack and cool completely.
Cream the peanut butter and butterfor about 2 minutes.
Gradually add in brown sugar,beating for about 3 minutes.
Add in eggs, one at a time,beating after each addition.
Vanilla in.
Slowly add in flouron low speed.
I chopped my bittersweet chocolateinto pieces.
Stir into peanut mixture.
Add in the rest of the chocolate bits.
And the peanuts.
Mix well with spoon.
Roll into small balls and place on buttered trays.
Bake at 325 degrees for about 12 minutes.
The recipe actually said to cut the chocolateinto 1/2 inch chunksand chopped the peanuts.I chopped the chocolate smallerand forgot to chop the peanuts.Not a problem here.
