Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Here is a chocolaty twist on a traditional favorite peanut butter cookie.  The cookies will come out of the oven flatter than you would expect, but the insides stay chewy and the outer edges are crispy – the perfect texture combination to the sweet & salty of the chocolate and peanut butter!

INGREDIENTS

8 oz of Jif Whipped Peanut Butter and Chocolate Spread
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.  On parchment lined baking sheets, drop mixture by heaping teaspoons, since the cookies will spread make sure there is sufficient room between them (I suggest only baking 6 to 8 at a time to ensure they don’t bake together).  Bake 8 minutes, the cookies will crack and show the chocolate through.  Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes, and then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.  Store in an airtight container.  Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
