DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips
1/2 cup chopped Macadamia nuts

Preheat oven to 350°F for 15 minutes before baking.

Grease or line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat together butter and both sugars until
light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well
after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt,
stirring until no streaks remain. Stir gradually into butter
mixture. Add chocolate chips and peanut butter chips (white
chocolate can also be used, or use 2 cups semi-sweet
chocolate chips or chunks). Stir in nuts (Macadamia nuts are
wonderful with white chocolate, but any type of nut may be
used).

Stir and drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until done
