How-to

For Cookie Dough

Preheat oven to 375°
Place butter and peanut butter into a mixing bowl. Mix for 30 seconds or until blended together, stopping to scrape the bowl
Add white and brown sugar to the bowl. Mix for 30 seconds or until blended
Add egg and vanilla to the bowl. Continue to mix
Add flour, baking soda and baking powder to the bowl. Mix on low speed until dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Switch to high speed and thoroughly blend all ingredients. .
Place dough in refrigerator and allow to chill for about an hour
Remove dough from refrigerator. Using a spoon, scoop dough and mold it to the shape of the spoon. Roll it off the spoon onto a greased cookie sheet
Space the cookies with no more than 3 in a row
Bake cookies for 10-15 minutes or until done

Dip the Cookies in Chocolate

Melt the chocolate
Dip cookies in the chocolate halfway at an angle (so it doesn't break). One side should have a bit more than the other. Allow the excess chocolate drip off. Place cookies on a cookie sheet line with wax paper
Place finished cookies in the freezer and chill until hardened (5-10 minutes)

Several of my running buddies ran the Boston Marathon so I turned these into Marathon Cookies (wrote 26.2 on them) and brought them to the post-race party! They were a hit!

These cookies were ABSOLUTELY delicious! I actually put some mini-chocolate chips in the cookies themselves, and drizzled white chocolate over the whole thing to give it a gourmet-looking touch! A whole station full of firefighters loved them!

I made the peanut butter cookies last week and brought them to work. Everybody LOVED them. Tonight my son's girlfriend brought them for an after dinner treat and we all got to have these scrumptious cookies. M-m-m good.
