Here we go again... The Baron and I share our love of peanut butter and chocolate chips so we made these cookies recently. In fact, we've made these a number of times and they have been one of our favorites. These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfectly balanced with its peanut butter cookie dough studded with semi sweet chocolate chips. To take it a bit over the top, we made ice cream sandwiches using them for an extra special treat!
I adapted the original recipe by using gluten free flour with a little xanthan gum for texture. Also, instead of corn syrup, I used maple syrup instead. The maple syrup added a hint of caramel flavor in the dough which was a nice touch. The dough for this cookie freezes well so you can prepare it in advance, form it into tablespoon portions and freeze. This makes baking cookies easier for those unexpected guests or when you just want some fresh baked cookies to warm up those cold winter days!
Joel and I enjoy making cookies together, especially this holiday season, and this is one we've enjoyed making together. Today many fellow bloggers are joining together in a mass blogging event for Cookies & Crafts for Sandy Hook. We're posting kid-friendly cookie recipes and crafts that we've done with our children. This is in support of the Newtown CT Youth & Family Services, who has a donation program and together, we are supporting the community during the aftermath of recent events. Check out their website
