Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Word to the wise - have an event of sorts to bring these to so that you don't end up eating them all yourself! They're incredibly tasty little cookies. With lots of nice, smooth peanutty buttery flavour. When I read in the cookbook that this recipe would make 5 dozen cookies, I let out an audible scoff. Who honestly makes 5 dozen cookies with a recipe? Those must be some measly, sad little cookies if you ask me.  I shot for what I saw as a more appropriate 2 1/2 dozen.  Bon appétit!

Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups peanut butter chips

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F.

2. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Add eggs; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in Reese's peanut butter chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
