Peanut Butter & White Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of my favorite cookies as a child were chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies. My Grandmother would always have these at her house when we visited. It is a cookie that brings many memories of going to my grandparents house!

I found this recipe the other day, which is very similar but has white chocolate chips too! This cookie is equally delicious! It has a very similar texture and the white chocolate chips are a good addition!

Peanut Butter & White Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Our Best Bites cookbook)

• 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 6 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350

Cream together softened butter, shortening, brown sugar and sugar for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla.

Meanwhile combine all the dry ingredients. Add to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Mix in peanut butter chips and white chocolate chips.

Use a cookie scoop and drop on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes (mine took almost 9 minutes). The centers should be set, but the cookies are still soft. Make sure not to overbake.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack!
