Too Young To Be Grumpy

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Tonight, as my leg is getting better enough to walk around on, I decided to celebrate by making some chocolate chip peanut butter cookies. These are super yummy - nice and soft (ideal for those with delicate teeth) and very chocolatey. If you use diet chocolate, diet brown sugar and diet peanut butter you might be able to make them low calorie, but I doubt it.

Ingredients

125g soft margarine
1/4 cup (~60g) of smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup (~60g) of crunchy peanut butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup of cocoa
1/2 cup of plain flour
3/4 cup of self-raising flour
250g plain chocolate

Method

• Preheat oven to 180^oC.
  
• Grease 2 baking trays.
  
• Cream together the margarine, peanut butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
  
• Add the egg and mix well.
  
• Combine the plain and self-raising flour with the cocoa.
  
• Chop up the chocolate and mix into the mixture.
  
• Take teaspoons of the mixture and roll into balls. Place them on the baking trays and press with a fork.
  
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until they crack on top.
  
• Leave on the tray for 5 minutes to cool, before placing on a wire rack.
