Food Love: Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you like peanut butter, and you like chocolate, and you like cookies, then you'll PROBABLY like this recipe for Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies. :)

The boyfriend told me they are his favourite cookies I've made so far, but don't be fooled. I've only made 2 other kinds of cookies: regular chocolate chip, and plain peanut butter. Clearly I'm not very fancy, since this is a combination of the two... But it IS a different recipe.

You will need: 
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky depending on consistency you desire)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions: 
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a mixing bowl, mix together butter, peanut butter and brown sugar until smooth.  Add egg and vanilla and mix.

3. In a second bowl, mix flour and baking soda.  Add to the mixture in the first bowl and mix. Stir in chocolate chips.

4. Place spoon-fuls of cookie batter onto baking sheets 2 inches apart.  Bake approximately 18 minutes (I always like to keep an eye on them just in case).  Once they're done, transfer to a wire-rack to cool.

FYI: I doubled this recipe and it made about 3-dozen average sized cookies. But I guess that depends on your definition of 'average sized cookie'... :)
