Chocolate PB Chip Cookies

Share

These are probably the best cookies ever!!! Seriously, they are the greatest cookies ever to have been made on the face of the planet in all of time. Now let me warn you, the recipe says to wait 24-36 hours before baking. Now I understand that this sucks cause who wants to make cookies and then not be able to eat them right away?! Now I have made them waiting and also not waiting....they are better if you wait BUT still are awesome by not waiting. To find out why they taste better click here, it's an article by the NY Times that explains why it's better to chill the dough overnight. For a very short version of why compare it to marinating meat. The meat needs time to soak up the marinade, its sorta like that with cookies.

Now the 1st two ingredients are gonna throw you, but I guarantee you that buying these two will be well worth you while!!

2 cups minus 2 tablespoons (8 1/2 ounces) cake
flour

1 2/3 cups (8 1/2 ounces) bread flour

1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt

2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter

1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) light brown sugar

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) granulated
sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/4 pounds chocolate chips (or choc & PB chips OR whatever the hell you want!!)

Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside. (I used a whisk to mix together)

Using a mixer with a paddle attachment, creambutter and sugars until light and fluffy – about 5 minutes. Add eggs. Stir in vanilla

Reduce to low speed and add dry ingredients slowly, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Refrigerate dough for 24-36 hours THEN bake at 325 for 10 minutes.

What I do to tide me over until I can bake them is just eat a bunch of cookie dough. It's addicting, it's like OH MY GOD I cannot STOP eating this dough. So they say it's bad for you, well hey I am 30 years old and have YET to get sick.  

BEST COOKIES EVER!!!
