Project 209: peanutbutter and chocolate cookies

This was a little bit of effort, but worth it.  Next time I am going to make double the peanut butter batch, and make peanut butter cookies only!  I got 90 cookies, but must admit.....I've tasted quite a bit of the dough!  Maybe I could have had even more cookies!  And even the finished product only lasted the weekend!

You make two batches of dough.  I've adjusted both a little by adding a little more flour, as the dough was too sticky and very difficult to work with.  I did not have chocolate chips, so I broke larger chocolate baking disks into smaller pieces.  It worked well, although the disks seem to melt more than the chips. 
 

For the peanut butter batch:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 /2 cup chocolate chips


Mix everything together.




For the chocolate Batch:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips


Mix everything together.


Make small balls with 1/2 of each batch and press them down with a fork.  Bake for 12 minutes at 180*C.  Allow to cool slightly before removing it from the baking pan.
