Is it Christmas yet?
No?
Then I have more baking to do.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 stick unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 TB vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups roasted peanuts
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped
I only had 4 ounces of bittersweet,
so I used that and 12 ounces of
Nestles mildly sweet special dark chocolate.
Note: Don't use a hand-held beater for this.
I was using my standing mixer
and 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 mixture
and stir until just combined.
Mix in peanuts and chocolate chunks
Cover and refrigerate for several hours
or overnight.
Butter cookie sheets.
Shape dough into small balls
and place on sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake at 325 degrees about 12 minutes
or until tops of cookies are light brown.
Cool on sheets for 5 minutes
then transfer to rack and cool completely.
