The other day I was moving my recipe books and found a large envelope with a TON of clipped recipes in it. I sorted through them and came upon this one. The clipping is dated 1991. I never did get a chance to make them until today. Chunky peanut butter, chocolate chips, honey roasted peanuts and miniature Reese's peanut butter cups -- how could you go wrong. Believe me, they're absolutely AMAZING!
2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup chunky-style peanut butter
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
¾ cup honey-roasted peanuts
¾ cup coursely chopped frozen miniature peanut butter cups (about 12)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
Beat the peanut butter and butter together until fluffy. Add the sugars and beat until light and smooth. Then add the egg and beat for 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix well. Stir in the flour mixture and beat thoroughly. Sprinkle the milk over the mixture and beat to soften the dough. Fold in the chocolate chips and peanuts, then carefully add the candy.
Drop by 2 tbsp clumps onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving space (about one inch) for spreading.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just browned.
