Happy New Year! This is my first official post of 2019 (I totally typed 2018, but quickly corrected it). January has brought snow and ice to our neck of the woods and I love it! What else would we want January to be filled with? Sunday was literally the perfect winter day. Well, almost perfect. My Cowboy had to leave after church to catch his flight for a work trip so I was a little lonely :(. Besides him being gone, however, it was perfect. Let me tell you why.

We had a rockin’ snow storm that settled in the night before and continued a good chunk of the day. I find Sunday is my preferred day for a good snowstorm, because after attending church we generally spend the rest of the day at home and often have nowhere we need to go or be. Thanks to the weekly blessing of a day of rest, we don’t generally have to worry about travelling on bad roads on Sunday. It’s the best day to cozy up with a cup of hot chocolate and some cookies! And Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies will warm you right up. 

Hot cookies are one of my favorite desserts for chilly weather. They are quick and easy, and if you use the right cookie recipe, very satisfying. Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies do just that, they satisfy. Once again, I am pulling a cookie recipe from my sister, Jessie’s arsenal. She is the cookie queen of the world. So naturally, I gravitate to her cookie recipes. Let me tell you, it is for good reason. For her famous chocolate chip cookie recipe and tips for fantastic cookies, click here.

 

These babies are buttery, chocolate-y, peanut butter-y, flavorful, soft, and will make your kitchen smell absolutely wonderful. What’s not to love? You guessed it, nothing. There is absolutely nothing unlovable about Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. 

Happy cookie-ing!

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies are a chocolate based cookie, loaded with peanut butter chips, and perfectly complimented with milk chocolate.

1 1/2 cups butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3- 3 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt.

2 cups peanut butter chips

1-2 cups milk chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven at 325 degrees F. Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla and beat about one more minute. Add eggs and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt. Start with 3 cups of flour in the mixture, you can later add more flour as needed. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and combine. Add the second half of the flour mixture and mix well. If needed, add more flour, until the dough is no longer sticky. It shouldn’t take anymore than an extra 1/2 cup.
3. Finally, add the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Combine well. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-2 inch balls (I prefer bigger cookies). Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake 10-15 minutes or until they are about cooked through.
4. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes. This will allow the cookies not only to cool off, but to continue baking a little bit more. Store cookies in an airtight container. I like to place them in a container while they are still a little warm, because that extra moisture helps them remain soft through the days. If you are worried about cookies hardening, sticking a slice of bread in with the cookies will help them stay soft as well. Enjoy!
