Chocolate Cookies

Submitted by Joyce Sutton

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Bake Time: 14 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 package (8 squares) Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
• ¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ¼ cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ½ cup flour
• ¼ tsp calumet baking powder
• 1 package (8 squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate coarsely chopped or 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chunks (1 package).

Directions:

Heat oven to 350. Microwave chocolate squares in large microwavable bowl on high for 2 minutes. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in sugar, peanut butter, butter, eggs, and vanilla with wooden spoon until well-blended. Stir in flour and baking powder onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 13 to 14 minutes or until cookies are puffed and feel set to the touch. Cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute. Remove to wire racks and cool completely. Makes about 18 large cookies. I reduced the size to get more. They are very rich. You may need to reduce baking time if making cookies a smaller size.
