This recipe came about by accident when I was making both my husband's favorite peanut butter cookies and my favorite chocolate cookies. I had two small portions of dough left over and decided to combine them into one flavor-filled cookie. Ingredients:
peanut butter dough: |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup peanut butter |
1-1/4 cups sugar |
1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
3 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped peanuts |
chocolate dough: |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
3/4 cup sugar |
3 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in peanuts; set aside.
2. For chocolate dough, in another bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Gently fold in peanut butter dough until slightly marbled.
3. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned and firm. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: 9-1/2 dozen.
