Prep and Cook time: 30 minutes
Makes: About 2-1/2 dozen cookies or 30 servings, 1 cookie
each
Ingredients
2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, divided
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) Sweet Cream Butter or margarine, softened
2 Eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
2 cups PLANTERS Salted Peanuts, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coarsely chop 8 of the chocolate squares; set
aside. Microwave remaining 8 chocolate squares in large microwavable bowl
on full power (100%) 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until
chocolate is completely melted. Add sugar, peanut butter, butter, eggs and
vanilla; stir with wooden spoon until well blended. Add flour and baking
powder; mix well. Stir in chopped chocolate and peanuts. (Note: If
omitting peanuts, increase flour to 3/4 cup to prevent excessive spreading
of cookies during baking.)
2. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake
12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are puffed and feel set to the touch.
Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
