Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

I was thinking today that it has been a long time since I had a cookie. Then, I realized that it has been a long time since I had a chocolate chip cookie. I told myself that I could actually do something to remedy that. I went to my pantry and got all of the ingredients to start baking and when I went to reach for the chocolate chips, I found a little bag of peanut butter chips next to them so I invited them to the party. When I went to the refrigerator to get my eggs, butter and milk, I could almost swear that the walnuts started to whisper to me...take me! take me! so I did!. I was a happy girl this morning...I got my chocolaty, peanut-y, nutty cookie and as a bonus a nice, cold glass of milk!






Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 sticks unsalted butter softened

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

cup granulated sugar

1 large egg, at room temperature

2 tablespoons milk

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups coarsely chopped toasted walnuts

1 cup peanut butter chips

½ cup semisweet chocolate chips


Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees


In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a another bowl, cream the butter with the sugars until smooth.

Add the egg, milk and vanilla, and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Stir in the walnuts, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between for expansion. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly golden.

Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve with cold milk.
