Method

Preheat at 375. Line sheets with parchment. Slowly cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add peanut butter, beating until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a large bowl, sift together flour, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture, on low speed, until dough comes together. Mix in chips and nuts. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart. Bake 9 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

 

Notes: Great basic cookie to experiment with. Try different combinations of nut butters, chocolates and chopped nuts. Plan on making more than one batch. Recipe triples easily in a 6-quart mixing bowl.

 

Number of Servings: 4 dozen
