Heidi: discovered that cookies can taste ridiculously sublime...
chocolate peanut butter chip cookies
makes about 4 dozen
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 2/3 cups (a 10-ounce bag) peanut butter chips
1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (about 8 ounces)
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Don't say I didn't warn you;) Into a bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy and beat in egg and vanilla until combined well. Beat in flour mixture until just combined and stir in chips. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
Drop dough by tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets and bake in batches in middle of oven until cookies are just set and begin to crack on top, about 12 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets on racks 1 minute and with a spatula transfer to racks to cool completely.

Those look tempting. I think I will wait for my 2nd trimester to be over, I could eat 4 dozen in one sitting!! Tell Harley congrats, that is exciting!!
I can't decide which looks more scrumptious--Gracie or those cookies!
Not....gonna.....look.....at.....the......cookie.
a lot does happen in a week, especially when you have children!
The cookies look yummy, I'll have to let you know when I try them. Your pineapple-pina colada drink is in my freezer ready to be pulled out for tomorrow night! =)
Congrats to Harley!! Those cookies look yummy:) I will have to try them out. Thanks for the recipe.
Maybe next time you make those cookies, you should share them. That way you don't, or your family doesn't over indulge:) Tell Harley I can't wait to read what she has to say about the election.
