Peanut Butter and Choc Chip Cookies

Found the recipe for these amazing cookies, on Smitten Kitchen, and wanted to share the peanut butter chocolatey love with you

1 1/4 cups plain flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup peanut butter at room temp (either smooth or crunchy. I used smooth!)

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 tablespoon milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. 

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and the salt. Set aside

In a large bowl, beat the butter and the peanut butter together until fluffy.

Add the sugars and beat until smooth

Add the egg and mix well. Add the milk and vanilla extract.

Add the flour mixture and beat thoroughly. Stir in the peanut butter and chocolate chips.

Roll teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place on a baking paper lined tray, leaving space for expansion

Using a fork, lightly indent the top of each roll with a criss-cross pattern but don't overly flatten

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake. Cookies may appear underdone, but they are not.

Cool cookies on tray for a minute then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Seriously these are so so moreish. We made them today and i've eaten more than I would like to say. They are delicious! We are making up for the fact we haven't had peanut butter around for awhile.

Till next time
