I cook because I can peanut butter choc chip cookies

From my favourite blog - Smitten Kitchen - you must check it out.
These biscuits are incredibly moreish. I think it made about 40 of the little things - so cute and tasty.

1 1/4 cups plain flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter at room temperature
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tbsp milk
1/2 cup peanuts, roughly chopped
1/2 cup chocolate chips
White sugar - for dipping

Preheat the oven to 180C.

Mix together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Cream the peanut butter and butter together until soft and creamy. Add the sugars and vanilla and then beat until smooth. Beat in the egg and milk. Stir in the flour mix and then the peanuts and chocolate chips.

Scoop out teaspoonfuls of mix into little rounds, roll in sugar then place onto the baking trays.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until very lightly golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and rest for 2 minutes before placing onto the racks to cool completely.

Delicious!
