From Southern Living magazine, these are mouth watering good! To have cookies for guests, freeze dough in an airtight container up to 1 month. They will love the combination of peanut butter, peanuts, and chocolate chunks! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup chunky peanut butter |
1 cup white sugar |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
2 large eggs |
2 cups flour |
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts |
1 (11 1/2 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chunks |
Directions:
1. Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; add chunky peanut butter and sugars, beating well. Add eggs, beating until blended.
2. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients. Add to butter mixture, beating well.
3. Stir in peanuts and chocolate chunks. Shape dough into 2 balls (about 2 Tbsp per cookie). Flatten slightly, and place on ungreased baking sheets.
