ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter or 1/2 cup regular butter, softened
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter
- 1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1⁄4 cup milk

- 3⁄4 cup semisweet chocolate piece
- 3⁄4 cup honey-roasted peanuts
- 3⁄4 cup coarsely chopped bite-size chocolate-covered peanut butter cups (about 15)
directions
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add the sugars, baking soda and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of the bowl occasionally.
- 2. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Using the mixer, beat in as much of the flour as you can. Stir in remaining flour by hand. Stir in the chocolate pieces, peanuts and peanut butter cups.
- 3. Drop by generously rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake the cookies in a 350° oven for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Makes about 30 cookies.
- * Note: If you like, for easier chopping, freeze miniature chocolate-covered peanut butter cups in their wrappers for 1 hour. Remove frozen candies from wrappers before chopping.

I'm a single mom to four wonderful kids. They keep my hands full! My job as a nurse is very enjoyable, as I am definitely a "caretaker" type of person. I love being a mom and a nurse!
Circumstances beyond my control have made tightening my family's belt more than ever before. Even going through nursing school full-time with four kids wasn't this tight! Food prices, along with fuel prices are completely insane right now. We no longer go out to eat at our favorite restaurants anymore. I am ever grateful for finding RecipeZaar, as we have been finding our favorite dishes here. RecipeZaar has really helped us live within our new budget with all the delicious foods we have been trying. Thank you to all the recipe posters!
