"Chip & Putter" Cookies (Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies)




I was discussing cookie recipes recently with a friend, and she mentioned that Chip & Putter Cookies were one of her family's favorites.  I, of course, requested the recipe.  I mean, what a great name!  So she graciously shared the recipe for these delicious peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies.

"Chip & Putter" Cookies (Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies)

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
12 ounce dark chocolate chips (or any flavor chocolate chips that you like!)

Stir flour, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.  Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.  Blend in flour mixture.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Cover and refrigerate dough for at least three hours or overnight.  Shape into large balls (around two tablespoons) and place on parchment paper on air-bake cookie sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees approximately 14 minutes or until light brown and center is just set.  Let rest on baking sheet several minutes before removing to wire rack to cool.

Megan's notes:  The original recipe called for 6 ounces of milk chocolate chips, but I really like dark chocolate.  Nestle makes a dark chocolate chip that is a little bigger, and I like the way it looks in this cookie.  I also upped the amount of chocolate chips because, as far as I'm concerned, you can never have too much chocolate!  I didn't include the salt because I think the peanut butter adds enough salty flavor. Lastly, the original recipe did not call for chilling.  However, I had just gotten some size medium Pampered Chef cookie scoops, and I was itching to try them out.  I knew that in order to keep the cookies from spreading all over, I would need to chill the dough first.  For a smaller cookie, scoop out rounded tablespoons and place on cookie sheet.  Reduce baking time to 10 - 12 minutes.

French Vanilla Coffee Mix

Image
Okay, if you follow my posts regularly, you have probably keyed into the fact that I like to make mixes.  I made some of these French Vanilla Coffee mixes up for Christmas gifts this year.  It's something that people don't have to use right away, and also goes well with all the goodies that are coming in at that time of the year.  Go here for this recipe plus eight other yummy coffee mix recipes. PS--If you're going to make some mixes in a jar or a bag, I recommend getting an open-mouthed funnel.  I got mine in a specialty kitchen store.  It's great for getting the mix in place without ending up with it all over your countertop!

World's Best Hot Cocoa MIx

Image
Growing up, I never had anything but the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa packets.  I always wanted to get the ones with the mini marshmallows in it even though by the time I got my cocoa mixed up they had almost melted away.  So, when I tasted my mother-in-law's deliciously-creamy cocoa, I had to have the recipe for the mix! My kids often request this after they come in from playing outdoors.  Put it in a cute container or bag, and it makes a great Christmas gift!  I packaged mine up with some homemade peppermint marshmallows this year! I have recently updated this recipe with homemade versions of the powdered Nesquik and creamer.  My kids and I like it even better than the original--it's cheaper, too!
