I LOVE when last minute recipe ideas work out to be so delicious! Shortly before we sat down to watch SYTYCD tonight, I decided we needed cookies to watch with the show. I took two of my favorite cookie dough recipes not to mention one of my favorite flavor combinations and stuck them side by side on a baking sheet. The outcome= pure awesomeness! Talk about simplicity at it’s finest. The peanut butter cookie portion consists of only three ingredients, so it really doesn’t take that much more time to get these babies in the oven.
If you are a chocolate/peanut butter freak like myself, do not delay make yourself a nice batch today!! Definitely one of my favorite cookies right now, can’t wait to dig into these tomorrow. Ok, it’s after midnight, and my husband is freaking me out with his sleep talking. Goodnight!!
Peanut Butter Cookie
1 Cup creamy peanut butter
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Chocolate Chip Cookie
2 sticks softened butter (1 Cup)
1 Cup granulated sugar
3/4 Cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 Cups flour
1 1/4 Cups cocoa powder (I used Hersheys)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Cup chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter and sugars until well combined. Slowly beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Place flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl; mix with fork or sift. Add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips until just combined.
2. Take a Tablespoon of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough and a Tablespoon of Chocolate Cookie Dough and gently press together forming a “not so perfect” ball. Don’t press and roll too much, just stick them together and place onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies are cooked through to your liking. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful rest of the week!! See you soon.
YUM! These look so good!
Great idea! It's like a twist on the chocolate/vanilla pinwheel cookies.
Yum! The best of both worlds put together.
Those cookies look delish. This week I did sangria for recipe sharing. I hope you'll stop by my site and share this tasty post:

i'm definitely a chocolate peanut butter freak, so these are calling my name
yummy!
now this is a rookie question, but when you say butter do you mean salted or unsalted?
Simply luscious!
I'm always looking for good excuses to combine peanut butter and chocolate together…this definitely sounds like a good one!
looks yummy! 2 goodies in one!
You can sent 5 dozen of those my way please 😉
thanks for the recipe, yum.
What a clever idea. I'll have to give these a try!
the perfect pairing in an awesome cookie! I am just like you, I love peanut butter and chocolate!
Now seriously – this is such a smart idea… one that I can't believe I haven't thought of before because it is so simple. Yummy!
Perfect cookie! I love SYTYCD too!

Those look good. I usually don't eat chocolate chip. I love peanut butter. But, the chocolate with the chocolate chips looks pretty good.
