Baking Monday – Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies




Really, you can't go wrong with Mrs. Fields ... everything I've made from that cookie book has been terrific.



These cookies get a swirly pattern from adding melted chocolate to the dough as the very last step. I cut the butter down to 1.5 sticks and replaced half of the milk chocolate chips with peanut butter chips.



Plain peanut butter cookies are kind of blah IMHO, so I loved the chippy addition to these. Super peanut-butter yum! This recipe would halve easily, but why would you want to? Makes about 60 cookies.

6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
3/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips

• Preheat oven to 300.
• Melt chocolate chips, set aside to cool.
