I recently posted my chocolate chip cookie recipe. Last weekend I baked two batches of Cookies and took pictures along the way to share.
I originally wanted to bake Snickerdoodles because I've never baked Snickerdoodles and I am a big fan. I was going to use this recipe but when I got to the grocery store I didn't feel like paying $7 for a bottle of Cream of Tartar because I wasn't going to be baking a ton of Snickerdoodles soon. I also recall seeing a bottle of Cream of Tartar at my Momma's house so I can just borrow it next time I go over. After ruling out Snickerdoodles I browsed the Baking section for other options and I found these:
Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
If you know my husband you know he is a huge peanut butter fan. I immediately thought "Reese's Peanut Butter AND Chocolate chip Cookies. Sold.
Then I see this:
Ghirardelli White Chocolate Premium Baking Bar
Then I thought "White Chocolate Chunk and Chocolate Chip Cookies" YES!
P.S. I apologize for the poor lighting. There's bad lighting in my in-laws' kitchen. I guess this is where a fancy camera would have been nice.
I already had these chocolate chips that I love using in my cookies at home:
Guittard Real Semisweet Chocolate Chips
These are my favorite chocolate chips. A good chocolate chip cookie must have a supreme chocolate chip!
Friday night after I let my butter soften for a solid 3 hours my first batch went like this:
Ingredients:
1 C. (2 sticks) softened salted butter
1 large egg
1 1/2 C packed brown sugar
1 TSP Pure Vanilla Extract
2 1/4 C All Purpose Flour
1 TSP Baking Soda
1/2 TSP salt
3/4 of a 10 OZ Bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
1/2 bag (6 OZ) Guittard Semisweet Chips
(this is simply my original chocolate chip cookie recipe with the chocolate mixed and matched to my liking)
I beat the butter, egg, brown sugar and vanilla
Then I mixed with my hands and added the chips
After I was done making my PB/Choc. chip dough I transferred it to another bowl for later use. Did I mention how much I love my Pyrex bowls? I got a set as a wedding gift and I use them every single time I cook. On the real though, if you don't have yourself a set, go buy one. Click here. No, Pyrex doesn't pay me to advertise on my blog but I really love my Pyrex bowls. I use them for baking, cooking and storing and I want to buy another set when Tony and I purchase our home.
I added chopped white chocolate chunks and Guittard chocolate chips. I used a 4 OZ bar and the other half of my chocolate chips that remained from the peanut butter chip cookie dough.
I transferred both doughs into large Ziplock bags. On the top is the chcolate chip/white chocolate chunk dough and on the bottom is the peanut butter chip cookie dough. These doughs refrigerate beautifully and I wanted to bake one dozen Friday night and continue the fun Saturday night.
I preheated my oven to 375 then...
... Baked for about 8 or 9 minutes.
at the top is 1/2 dozen peanut butter chip cookie and the bottom is 1/2 dozen white chocolate and chip cookies. I let them cook for about 15 minutes before removing.
Look at that beauty!
This is the back of one of my cookies. I don't know what compelled me to take a picture of it but it looked tasty and I just did. Notice the soft buttery texture!
And that's it! Phew!
