Dreamy
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
by Jim Eaton
Ingredients:
2 sticks room temperature butter
2 eggs
2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 cup dark cocoa powder (Hershey Extra Dark)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon instant coffee - mixed with enough water to form
thick paste
1/2 bag dark chocolate chips
1/2 bag peanut butter chips
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in
mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Sift until all lumps are removed
and cocoa well combined with flour mixture.
Cream the butter, sugar and brown sugar together with electric
mixer until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla and coffee paste and mix
until light and fluffy. Add half the flour mixture and beat
on low to just combine. Add the rest of the flour mixture and
mix to fully incorporate the dry into the wet ingredients.
Stir the chips into the batter with a wooden spoon just until
combined - do not over mix.
Using a large tablespoon form the batter into 1 inch balls and
bake on foil lined baking sheets for 10-15 minutes. Let the
cookies cool on the sheet. The cookies will look underdone but
they will finish cooking on the baking sheet and I think they're
better a little soft.
Enjoy with tall glass of milk.
