This is taken from the award-winning The Dessert-Lover's Cookbook by Marlene Sorosky-Gray...These cookies are sweet so you might want to reduce the sugar slightly. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, room temperature |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup light brown sugar |
3/4 cup peanut butter |
2 large eggs |
2 teaspoons maple extract (or use vanilla) |
2 cups flour |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats |
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips |
1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a large cookie sheet/s with parchment paper, then butter the parchment paper or use a cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl beat together the butter with both sugars, maple extract and peanut butter until well blended.
4. Add in the eggs; beat until well combined.
5. In another bowl mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture; beat until combined.
6. Add in oats, chocolate chips and peanuts; mix until combined.
7. Drop by 2-tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet.
8. With a lightly-floured fork, flatten slightly into about 2-1/2-inch rounds.
9. Bake (one pan at a time) for about 12-14 minutes.
10. Let stand 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then using a spatula transfer cookies to racks to cool (if the cookies are too hot they will break).
