My husband brought me flowers, so I made him some cookies. Doesn't that sound smug? Well, we've only been married 11 months. Here's the recipe, adapted from the King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion:
Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
1/2 c butter
3/4 c crunchy peanut butter
1 c brown sugar (8 oz)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1 c bittersweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, cream together butter, pb, sugar, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Beat in eggs, then stir in flour and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto parchment-lined (or greased) cookie sheets. (They will not rise much or spread out at all, so you can fit them fairly close together) Bake about 10 or 12 minutes, until starting to brown at the edges.
These are more cakey than chewy, but I think that works better with the chocolate.
