Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last week I was on a mission to make “healthy” chocolate chip cookies. You know the ones with coconut oil, white/wheat flour and honey.  Well that did not work out well for me at all.  I made the batch, and as quickly as I made them, they went into the trash even faster!  Absolutely no flavor and as dry as the Sierra desert! So plan B went into effect.  Finding a yummy cookie recipe! I came across this recipe at the Nestle Toll House site. Sometimes the best recipes come straight from the people that make the product you are using! I had tons of taste testers on this one and everyone enjoyed them as they had that extra peanut butter flavor!

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks of butter, room temperature
1/2 cup Nestle chocolate chip morsels
Granulated sugar for sprinkling on the top

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Combine flour and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside. Beat butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Beat in egg and gradually beat in the flour mixture.  Once that is blended stir in the chocolate chips.  Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets. Press down slightly and sprinkle with a little bit of the granulated sugar.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are set but the centers are still soft. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
