I found this recipe while searching for a yummy peanut butter cookie online. This one came up in all-recipes.com and I really like it. They are soft inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. I love the chocolate chunks in these. I found a bag from Nestle at Walmart. Really tasty and worth trying. Enjoy!!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chopped semisweet chocolate
DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the corn syrup, water, and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Fold in chocolate chunks. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  3. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

**I used a medium cookie scoop and baked for 10 minutes, for a smaller cookie. After scooping on baking sheet, I pressed each cookie down about 1/2 inch because they don’t spread much. It made about 3 dozen cookies**

    Hi Colin’s Mom,
    If any of these call for a bundt pan, you can always use 2 9inch cake pans, that’s what I do if I want a layered cake. If it doesn’t call for frosting, use my cream cheese frosting from my “Mile High” cake. Check some of these out. Good luck!

    Hello,
    Glad you found picky palate. I know what it’s like with little ones, it does get hard to find time to cook!

    I’ll do some checking around for a cranberry cake, I’m sure I’ll find one soon!

    Thanks again for visiting.

    I just found your blog a couple of days ago and have already gotten a lot of good recipes from you! I love to cook, especially bake, but am finding less time to do it now that I have a 5-month old. I now find myself searching for quick recipes that still taste gourmet (or at least like they took some effort). I was wondering if you had any ideas about a cranberry cake? Random, I know but I bake for my coworkers birthdays and someone requested something cranberry with a cream cheese or caramel frosting. I’ve searched the web and only come up with bundt cakes (not a big fan) or cranberry upside down cake. Why are there no cranberry cake recipes that are the traditional layered cake? I wonder if it’s because it takes such a dense cake to hold up to the cranberries or what? So if you have a recipe or any ideas, let me know. Thanks!!
