PB & C Cookies: Get Your Peanut Butter in Your Chocolate

     Remember that this week's blog is devoted to our Christmas Cookie Swap.  We are swapping cookie recipes by either posting your favorite under comments or clicking on the little envelope and sending it along in an email. 

     As promised, my contribution to the cookie recipe exchange is short, sweet, and simple. 

     It is inspired by those memorable Reese's commercials from childhood.  You know, where the boy with headphones on roller skates eating chocolate crashes into the girl with headphones on roller skates eating peanut butter, thus combining to create the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. 

     If you didn't see that one, perhaps you saw the one where the astronaut eating chocolate trips into the robot coming off the elevator eating his peanut butter.

     If not, then you definitely remember the one with Ralph Malph eating chocolate colliding with Robbie Benson walking down the street eating peanut butter in front of a paperback bookstore.

    And, if you have no idea what I am talking about it, just search You Tube for "Vintage Reese's Cup commercials", and you'll find these unforgettable advertisements that tell the tale of peanut butter marrying chocolate.  The ads may have been cheesy, but the chocolate-peanut butter combination cannot be denied.  It works.

    So add a little peanut butter to your chocolate with PB & C Cookies:

Ingredients:

Butter (2 cups)
White sugar (1 and 1/2 cup)
Brown sugar (1 and 1/2 cup)
Eggs (4)
Vanilla (2 tsp.)
Flour (5 cups)
Baking soda (2 tsp.)
Salt (1 tsp.)
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (12 ounce bag)
Reese's Peanut Butter Chips (10 ounce bag)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs well.  Add the baking soda and salt to the flour, mix, then combine with the other ingredients.  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a light golden brown.

     Take a moment to send your recipe...and don't forget to share your cookies.

     Have a wonderful Tuesday :)
