A few months ago I was introduced to the site stumbleupon. I can easily say that I’m addicted! Whenever I have a few minutes I love to click that wonderful little button below the address bar, and then be whisked away to another wonderful corner of the world wide web. Of course I tend to have many food, cooking, and family sites come up, but I also have some travel, photography, sewing, knitting, and fashion sites galore!
One day I came across a site for Blowout Cookies. Knowing that everyone in my house LOVES peanut butter and chocolate, I knew I had to give it a try. After trying them, the only thing that needs to be said is “CALLING ALL PEANUT LOVERS!!” They are full of peanuts and chocolate! We really liked the flavor and texture of the cookies. Although, when I make them again, I will probably omit the peanuts. I think that chunky peanut butter and peanut butter cups are more than enough.
CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER EXPLOSION COOKIES
Ingredients
4 cups FLOUR
2 teaspoons BAKING SODA
1/2 teaspoon SALT
1 cup CHUNKY PEANUT BUTTER
1 cup UNSALTED BUTTER, softened
1 cup BROWN SUGAR, firmly packed
1/2 cup SUGAR
2 large EGGS
2 teaspoons VANILLA
1/2 cup MILK
1 1/2 cups SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS
1 1/2 cups HONEY ROASTED PEANUTS, chopped
16 PEANUT BUTTER CUPS, coarsely chopped and frozen
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Beat peanut butter and butter together until creamy. Add the sugars and beat until light and smooth. Then add the eggs and beat about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour mixture and beat thoroughly. Sprinkle the milk and vanilla over the mixture and beat to soften the dough. fold in the chocolate chips and peanuts, then carefully add the chopped peanut butter cups. Drop in 2-tablespoon mounds onto an parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until just golden brown around the edges. Do not overbake or the cookies will be too dry. Remove the cookies to a cooling rack. Makes about 36 cookies. SERVE WITH MILK!!!
