Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Okay, that name is a mouth full! So, the first pre-season game is tomorrow!! GO CHIEFS!! I didn't really plan on making anything that I felt would be blog worthy anytime soon, buuuut ya gotta have food while you're watching football, right?! Ok, well I think you do. I am also making stuffed peppers to munch on (they're on my blog if you'd like to make them too), along with some hot wings. Ahhh, love football food, as I call it. Anyway, it's like a rule that there has to be something sweet to eat as well (ugh, why can't I lose weight, haha!!). So I combined some of my favorites- chocolate and peanut butter- and put them in cookie form. I pretty much used my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and tweaked it to add in these other flavors. MAKE THESE!!

-2 1/2 sticks butter, softened 
-1 1/3 c. white sugar
-2/3 c. brown sugar
-2 eggs
-2 t. vanilla extract
-2 c. flour
-3/4 c. cocoa
-pinch of cinnamon
-1 t. salt
-1 t. baking soda
-1 c. peanut butter chips
-3/4 c. white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Stir the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Add to creamed mixture and mix until combined. Fold in chips. Bake for about 9 or 10 minutes. Let cool a few minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack. (They will look like they aren't quite done yet, but they are! They firm up as they cool!)

I think they serve these for dinner in Heaven. Pretty sure.

Once again, GO CHIEFS!

BORING!

Hello Blog, nice to see you again. Too bad I'm not even posting anything exciting. Just letting you all know that I'm still alive and will post recipes again one of these days. It's been so hot so I haven't been doing a whole lot of cooking. Mostly just grilling or simple stove top stuff like tacos or spaghetti. So I can't say that I've made anything new or blog worthy lately. Once it cools down a little, I'm sure I will be going insane with fall/pumpkin/spice/football/comfort food recipes, so check back when 100 degree weather is not in the 10 day forecast :)

I did make the frozen yogurt dots that had been flying around pinterest. They actually turned out really good. If you haven't seen them all you do is put any flavor of yogurt in a ziploc baggy, snip off a tiny corner, squeeze dots of yogurt onto a sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet, and then freeze. Once they're frozen you can put them in a container and just keep them in the freezer. They are pretty refreshing and tasty on these hot days!
