Double chocolate double Peanut butter cookies of your dreams - originally posted Feb 18/17

Chocolate chips AND cocoa powder.  Chopped peanuts AND peanut butter.  These cookies are bursting with yumminess.  I found the recipe here.  This is how I've adapted it;

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup peanuts, chopped coarsely

Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.  Cream butter, peanut butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy and smooth.  One at a time, beat in eggs, then oil and vanilla extract.  Add dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.  Stir in chocolate chips and peanuts.  Cover dough and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.  Drop onto a prepared cookie sheet in 1 tablespoon sized balls.
Bake at 375F for 10-12 minutes.


Seriously you guys, it doesn't get much better than this.
