#3295 - Chocolate Chip Peanut Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup Jif peanut butter (smooth OR crunchy)
1/4 cup softened butter
1/2 cup Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup white sugar + extra white sugar for sprinkling
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup Nestle's mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts (only use 1/4 cup if using crunchy peanut butter)

In a mixer add butter, brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar--beat. Add egg and milk--beat. Add baking soda and salt--beat. Add vanilla--beat. Add peanut butter--beat. Slowly add flour--beat (if it gets too thick for the mixer, remove bowl and stir with a wooden spoon). Remove bowl from mixer--add mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts--stir. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Scoop a heaping teaspoonful of batter and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on to a greased cookie sheet. Flatten the dough ball with a greased fork. Sprinkle a little white sugar over the top. Repeat with all batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool slightly before transferring them to paper towels.
