Best Ever Peanut Butter Cookies

Yesterday, Brent went with Larry and David up to Wyoming to cut wood for the winter.  I wasn't able to go because I needed to be at school...but still wanted to send along some yummy treats.  I found this recipe for the yummiest cookies I've tasted in a long time.  I sent some with Brent, and took the rest of the cookies to school to share with the faculty.  They were a hit!  You've got to try these!

Peanut Butter Candy Cookies

3/4 c. chuncky peanut butter
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 c. flour
2 c. miniature peanut butter cups (cut into quarters)
1/3 c. milk chocolate chips

Beat peanut butter and butter together until well blended.  Beat in sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.  Add egg and vanilla.  Add flour and mix until combined.  Stir in peanut butter cups.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.

Form dough into balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.  Cool.

Place chocolate chips in plastic bag.  Microwave at 30 second intervals, kneading bag between heatings until chocolate is smooth.  Cut a very small hole in one corner of the bag.  Pipe chocolate onto cookies.

ENJOY!!
