She says the blog started as a way for her to remember which dessert recipes worked best and which needed a little extra love, but after seeing some of her recipes, we can't imagine that all weren't just completely spectacular! Anna is here to share with us her Giant Peanut Butter Cup Chunk Cookies recipe! Giant Peanut Butter Cup Chunk Cookies Ingredients: 4 oz unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 large egg 1 tablespoon molasses 1 tablespoon half & half or milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour 1 cup coarsely chopped peanut butter cups, frozen 2.5 oz finely chopped good quality bittersweet or dark chocolate Reese’s Pieces (as many as you want) Preparation: Cream the butter, peanut butter and both sugars with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla, egg, molasses and half & half. Beat in salt, baking soda and baking powder, scraping sides of bowl to make sure ingredients are evenly distributed. Add flour and stir until mixed. Stir in frozen peanut butter cups and chopped chocolate. Chill the dough for 2 hours. Using about a quarter cup (2 oz) measure, shape into mounds. Chill the mounds some more or go ahead and bake them. Before baking, decorate tops with Reese’s Pieces. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes about 2 dozen cookies. |
