Liz makes chocolate peanut butter cookies

You know what's better than chocolate and peanut butter together in one sugary and tasty dessert? If you asked me yesterday, I probably would have said absolutely nothing. However, when I went to go make a batch of delicious pb and chocolate cookies this afternoon, I realized I didn't have an egg. So I now have an answer to my previous question: chocolate and peanut butter cookies that don't require a trip to the grocery store in order to buy some eggs. Let's get to baking!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup butter

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

3 tsp milk OR cream OR yogurt OR water

1 1/4 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put all of the sugars, peanut butter, butter, cocoa powder and milk (or equivalent) in a bowl.

Mix until well combined.

Now mix in the rest of the ingredients.

Form dough into balls about 1/4" in diameter. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Using a fork, press down on each ball of dough and make a criss-cross pattern.

Bake for about 8-10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before eating. This should make about 35-40 small cookies, but I don't know exactly how many because I totally dropped a whole cookie sheet of them on my kitchen floor. Oops.

The ones that didn't fall on the floor turned out to be absolutely delicious though!

Have a great weekend!

Love, Liz
