Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Procrastination



Last night I had big plans to sit down with a cup of lemon tea and finally spend some quality time with my 1L prep book (1L of a Ride) and prepare myself for the upcoming battle ahead.  Instead ended up with a living room full of 6 yr olds in sleeping bags.  Between the giggling 3 sets of feet and 8 dog paws running up and down the steps, I knew there would be no escape to quiet.  So, instead I decided it was a perfect excuse to make a favorite quick chewy cookie favorite!

1/2 cup butter (melted)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups of flour
2 cups chocolate chips

Cream butter and peanut butter with sugars until creamy. 
Add vanilla and then the eggs one at a time
SLOWLY dump the dry ingrediants in.  (Most cookbooks tell you to sift all the dry ingrediants together in a special bowl.  No need for this recipe)
Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop in 1 inch balls onto cookie sheet.
Bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes.
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transfering to a wire rack
