I needed to try a new cookie recipe, some days you just crave a good cookie! This is my twist on a recipe I found on southerncooking.com. They hit the spot!
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup honey roasted peanuts
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375°. Cream butter and shortening, add peanut butter, mix well. Add sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla, mix well. Mix in flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir in peanuts and chocolate chips. Scoop dough out onto silpat or ungreased cookie sheet. I use my large silpat on large perforated sheet and can bake 24 cookies at once! Flatten slightly and bake for 8-9 minutes. Do not over bake!
