the cookies for the cookie ride

*I've updated the recipe here: http://www.gewilli.com/2014/03/gewillies-aka-chocolate-peanut-butter.html slight but minor changes... this recipe still works but i've moved to the new one and loooooving it #FATWATTS #FUELFORDAYS*

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies.

That's what I would have been making.  Maybe one day will magically clear up this week, maybe, ya never know, i'm skeptical but if the opportunity arises I'm taking it.

The cookies, I've even done a Luna Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein bar nutritional comparison spreadsheet with them.  I had thought I'd posted the recipe but can't find it so I probably didn't.

I am getting it down, secret recipes ain't no good if you aren't sharing the final product with anyone or monetizing it or entering competitions.  I'm not doing much of any of that.

Recipe:

Almost all ingredients in my cookies are organic, the ones that really count esp, but they aren't 100% organic.  If you use crap ingredients (like unsalted butter that isn't organic and loaded with weird buttered popcorn 'butter flavor') the cookies ain't gonna be right.
Same to be said with peanut butter. These are best with fresh ground peanuts. Do not under any circumstances use a "peanut butter" product with an ingredient list that has more than one ingredient: peanuts. Well I suppose you can do what ever you want. but they won't be these cookies.

Pre-heat oven to 350 F
2+ cookie sheets lines with parchment paper

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup room temp unsalted (with no flavoring added - read the fucking ingredients) butter
1 cup peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla (this is another one, get vanilla, not that HFCS sweetend garbage)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
3 medium eggs

mix dry ingredients

on stand mixer (or by hand if you're not a t-rex)
mix butter, PB + vanilla
add sugar and blend until smooth

add 1/2 of the flour mixture

add 1 egg, mix thoroughly

add 1 egg, mix thoroughly

add 1 egg, mix thoroughly

add remaining flour

I use a cookie scoop (small ice cream scoop) to put them out on trays, smash down with fork in classic PB fashion.
The parchment makes it work better but you can just butter the cookie sheets if you want.

Cook for 14-16 min

Cool 5 min before removing from the baking pans.

And then eat them.

Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop that is slightly rounded (close to full 2 tablespoons of dough) each cookie's stats look like this:
