After having a rough week, I decided I needed some baking therapy. I needed baking therapy that ended in me eating something chocolate-y. Maybe multiple chocolate-y items. Yes, it had a very rough week. So when I saw these cookies on Lawyer Loves Lunch, I jumped on the chance to make them. I substitutes peanut butter chips for mint, because well... that's how I roll. They are so quick and easy to make. I should warn you though, these cookies are fantastic and very addictive. You may want to break out your fat pants. (Don't pretend you don't own fat pants, I know you do)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
