Well, a couple of posts back, I had mentioned making Double Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies. They were such a hit at our house with myself and the hubby...I decided to make a batch for my brother when he came for a visit this past weekend. Great excuse, heh? Hey, a girl has to do what a girl has to do, I say.
Besides, baking over the weekend, I found myself wrapped up a variety of books. I finished Sunrise by Karen Kingsbury, Take One by Karen Kingsbury, made progess on the Perfect Wife, and devoured more of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Happiness! I told you I was a bookworm...
But, I digress, on to the recipe.
Double Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies!
2 1/2 -
2 3/4 Cup of Flour2 Eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 Cup of Butter (softened)
1 Cup of granulated Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
4 tablespoons of Baking Cocoa
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 Cup Cup of Chocolate Chips
3-4 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter**
In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well. In a larger bowl, combine butter eggs, and vanilla; Slowly and peanut butter by tablespoons until well blended. Mix well until batter becomes firm and sticky. Add chocolate Chips. Bake at 350 for 7-9 minutes, or until the center of the cookie is firm.
Note: I like to chill my cookie batter for roughly half an hour for best results. :)
**On my first batch I had less peanut butter. The next batch, I added more. In fact, I'm sure you could get away with even more peanut butter. :D Can you tell I like the stuff? Give your chocolate & PB and nobody gets hurt...
So what have you lovely readers been baking? Or Reading? Or something else?? ;-)
Love,
Mrs. Southern Bride

Oh YUM! Those look amazing! I just made a batch of plain ol chocolate chip last night and they turned out the BEST ever! I think it has something to do w/my new Kitchen Aid mixer ;-)
oh my those look so good!! I think I'm going to go home and make these!!
How many eggs do you use?! lol
Scrumptious! These looked so delish I had to go into the kitchen and get something chocolaty - my fat free Jello chocolate pudding did not satisy me as it should have.
I chill my dough, too. Makes it easier to handle, and the cookies seem to hold their form better.
Reading? As in, books? Hah - I never have time for books anymore - I'm hooked on blogging!
Just stopping in from SITS to say HI! These sound sensational!
Happy Tuesday! Come over and check out my "5 DAYS OF GIVE-A-WAYS"!

Nothing beats cookies and a good book :)

I just finished reading Julia Child's "My Life in France," and it was a great read, especially if you love food as much as I do. :)
Thanks for this post... although, I"m on a diet so it was TRULY tempting :-) hehe
Found you via the Nesting Place.
Nice to meet you! I am now a follower of your blog.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you read Time Travler's Wife? I just heard the author did a sequel about a girl in her mother's haunted house or something...
Those cookies look amazing! And how can you read that many books in one weekend!?!?! that's impressive!
Can I ask you something??
The book Sunrise by Karen Kingsbury..is it a new book??
I still can't search from our bookstore here..I thought probably because they haven't reach Singapore..
Those look so yummy! I'm going to have to try that!
those look so yummy! thanks for sharing!
Yum! Who doesn't like peanut butter!
Ok, so sad that your music ends when I click on leave a comment... I made "Brownie Mounds" the other day for a party. I thought they were "ok" but they were a crowd pleaser. All my cookies were gone and everybody elses remained. Onto reading, I am currently reading "The Red and The Black" by Stendhal - it is a French classic. I'm trying to read more as my husby is French and he's read all these, in French. Ahhh, the jealousy. Anyway, I added Shelfari to my blog. I'd love to see your recommendations!
oh wow they sound SO delish! thanks for sharing! have a great weekend!
Can't wait to try these out! Thanks for sharing!
MMMmmm.... those look good! I'm sitting here blog hopping eating my just-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies. Funny to blog hop from a completely different blog circle than my own, and I see one of my longtime blog friends here - The Blonde Duck. All this really makes it a small world.

Those look delicious!! I'll have to try them, and soon!
Wow, can you really read multiple books at once? Awesome! Great recipes, too! Stopped over from SITS. glad I did. :o)
You are a woman after my own heart with reading a bunch of books all at once. That's my idea of a little slice of paradise. And the cookies only enhance the experience:-) Thanks so much for swinging by my blog on my Sits Day last week:-)
