peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

This is a great peanut butter cookie recipe from good housekeeping cookbook that i jazzed up a bit by adding some chocolate chips, and some other various adjustments. These would be a great treat to take along to any parties for memorial day weekend. There simple, but definitely a crowd pleaser.



Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter; softened
2 eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips (more of less depending on how much you like chocolate)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F, Then cream together the butter and sugar, add peanut butter, eggs, honey, and vanilla mix until combined. (make sure to scrape the bowl with a spatula, to ensure incorporation of all ingredients) Then add in the flour and baking powder, mixing until just combined. Then mix in chocolate chips.
2. Shape cookies into 1-inch balls and place 3-inches apart on cookie sheet (i like to line mine with parchment paper, that way the cookies just slide off, and clean-ups a breeze).
3. Flatten each cookie a bit with hand (or the back of a measuring cup works good; just have a little flour on it though if it begins to stick).
4. Bake 10 minutes (or until edges are lightly browned); rotating halfway through.


Heres the cookie balls before i flattened them (i forgot to take a pic after i flattened them)





And here they are after being baked





And just before there about to be devoured.....





......enjoy :))
