pine barrens finest chocolate chip cookies

Okay, there were originally called Connecticut's finest chocolate chip cookies, but I'm not from or in Connecticut so that would be lying. And no, I didn't steal this recipe.


1-1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 lb. butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F.

Cream butter and peanut butter. Add sugars, vanilla, and egg. Beat in flour, baking soda, salt and lastly, the chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons on baking sheet depending on the size cookie you want, leaving at least 1 inch between cookies. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets 8-10 minutes or until slightly brown at the edges. Cool on cookie sheet about 2 minutes before removing. This recipe easily doubles or triples, but you'd better be giving them away, or you should just call the paramedics right now. These cookies freeze very well also, but that information is likely as useless for you as it is for me.
