Who doesn't love the choco-peanut butter combo? (Aside from my best friend, who has this hatred for peanut butter that I will never comprehend.) I bought these peanut butter chips without really knowing what I would do with them, and then in the end just decided to put them in chocolate cookies. (I know, not that creative but it's been a long day and I just love cookies!) As a last attempt to make them pretty and worth blogging about, I decided to drizzle some chocolate on top.
Cookies
Ingredients:
 |
| The chocolate chips and oil are for the Chocolate Drizzle |
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder (Not pictured)
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
Chocolate Drizzle (recipe follows)
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
In large bowl, mix butter, sugars and vanilla together until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing in between until blended completely.
Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until smooth. Stir in peanut butter chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoon-ful onto cookie sheet. (Use wax paper on cookie sheet for easy clean-up!) Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are slightly darker than the batter. (I found 11 minutes seemed to be perfect.)
Chocolate Drizzle
Ingredients:
1 c. chocolate chips of your choice (I used dark chocolate but white chocolate would probably make a cool contrast!)
1 tbs. vegetable oil
Lay out wax paper on the counter and place the cookies on top of the paper. Using a fork, drizzle chocolate over cookies.
I realize this blog as a limited number of photos. Sorry about that. I got kind of excited about decorating that I completely forgot to take pictures! I hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience for anyone. Anyway, these are a surprise for everyone I'm flying with tomorrow. Unless they read my blog, of course. :D
