Cocoa Powder Cookies with Peanut Butter Chips
I have a favorite
chocolate cookie recipe that I have been using for years from Betty Crocker’s cookbook
“Baking Classics” copywrite 1979. It was a gift from my friend
Margie when Doug
and I got married. This recipe “Chocolate Drop Cookies” has been a family
favorite for years, of course with a few changes, this recipe includes 2 ounces of unsweetened
chocolate, melted.
Last year I was
out of chocolate bars but had cocoa powder, so I went in search of a cookie recipe
with cocoa powder as an ingredient. The recipe that I found is on FOOD.com and
is by wannabe runway model, posted on July 22, 2007.
The new family
favorite and here’s Kary’s take:
Kary’s way Original Recipe
½ cup butter ½ cup butter
¼ cup brown sugar ½
cup brown sugar
¼ cup sugar ¼ cup sugar
1 egg 1
egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract 1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
1 cup all-purpose
flour 1 cup all-purpose
flour
¼ cup cocoa powder ¼ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking
soda ½ teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8
teaspoon salt
½ cup peanut
butter chips
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Make sure the
butter is at room temperature, I usually put it in the microwave for 15 seconds
to soften.
In a large mixing
bowl beat together butter and sugar until creamy, crack the egg in a small
bowl, add along with the vanilla and stir until well mixed. Add the flour,
cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, mix in until well blended. Fold in the
peanut butter chips.
I usually chill in
the fridge for about 15 minutes, it just makes the dough easier to work with.
Using a teaspoon place the cookies on the cooking sheet, I line mine with
parchment paper or use a Silpat to cover the cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8
minutes, I have a convection oven so this is the perfect time for these cookies
in my oven. Also, I like a chewy cookie, hey it’s your cookie so bake it your
way just don’t burn them!
What’s your
favorite cookie recipe? Just cook something! Cheers! Kary~
