There is nothing, NOTHING I say, that can bring on a binge like a batch of homemade cookies. I just can’t keep them in the house, which is why I try not to make them very often. Because my self-control flies out the window when there are cookies around.
So when I saw that Trista’s Tasty Thursday theme this week is cookies, well, I had to participate!
I had a hard time deciding which recipe to post. My very favorites are chocolate peanut butter chip, but I see Trista’s recipe is very similar to those. So I’m going with my next favorites, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. (Do you sense a chocolate/peanut butter theme here?)
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup chunky or smooth peanut butter (I use smooth.)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 375°.
Cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light. Add the egg and
mix until fluffy.
Blend the flour, baking powder, soda and salt together well.
Add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips.
Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375°.
Seriously, you won’t be able to eat just one (pan).

I make these and they never last long in my house either. I think a cookie making session is in order!
I have the exact same problem. And they don’t even get baked before I’ve nearly made myself sick from them! I’ve been kicking around the idea of using 1/2 whole wheat flour in some of my cookie recipes. Not that that helps all that much, but it’s something. Have you tried that yet?
Mmmmm…. Yummm.
Sounds delicious!!
