Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
3/4 cup butter or margarine softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1 t vanila extract
2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cup coarse chopped peanuts

Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and peanut butter in a large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in morsels and peanuts. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets. Press down slightly to flatten into two inch circles.

Bake in preheated 375 oven for 7 - 10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft. Let stand for 4 minutes remove to wire racks and cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

I usually leave out the chopped peanuts.

When I was little, my Mom added orange zest to both sugar cookie dough and glaze for sugar cookies- this simple added step added SO MUCH to the cookies!

I Love pb, with chocolate. These cookies sound so good. I have this cookbook but never made that cookie recipe before. I made the Island cookies before the recipe is in that book. I Love coconut & chocolate together also. (I haven't made 70 most requested cookies and bars and brownies) yet... lol Cookies

I try one and really like it and thats the one I keep going back to instead of giving another recipe a try lol.
Pb and chocolate are my fav to. Sometimes when I make fudge I like to make pb and chocolate and then swirl them together.
