ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa or 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1⁄4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 1⁄2 cups miniature peanut butter cups
directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat together the sugars, butter, and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla, egg, and water, then stir in the dry ingredients, blending well.

- Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets; a tablespoon cookie scoop works well here. Flatten each cookie to about 1/2" thick.
- Bake the cookies for 7 to 9 minutes, or until they're set and you can smell chocolate. Remove them from the oven, and cool on a rack.

With the love and generosity of my sister-in-law who acted as our surrogate we now have a beautiful little boy, Ian. I love to camp and go jet skiing with my husband and our families. We have a wonderful chihuahua named Swiffy! She is always making us laugh. We enjoy spending time with our many nieces and nephews. I am an avid reader and I'm addicted to reality television!</p>
