directions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate with butter over low heat. Scrape the melted chocolate into a medium bowl and let cool. Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla until blended, then mix in the eggs. Stir in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms, then fold in the milk chocolate.
  • Roll slightly rounded teaspoons of the dough into 3/4 inch balls. Arrange the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and flatten them slightly. Bake the cookies for about 13 minutes or until firm outside but still soft in the center, rotate the baking sheets halfway through. Slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto wire racks to cool.
  • In a small bowl, blend the peanut butter with the confectioners sugar. Spread the flat side of half the cookies with the peanut butter filling, top with the remaining cookies and serve. The cookies can be prepared and stored layered between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<ul> <li>In the summer of 2009, my DH and I moved to McGrath, Alaska (on the Iditarod trail) to spend our first of many years there. We live a semi-primitive life, only electricity for appliances, no indoor plumbing and wood for heat.</li> <li>We live in a small village of around 300 people. We are off the road system and everything is flown in. There are 2 stores here but they are small and what is sold is around 2 times what it costs to buy it elsewhere. Many people buy their groceries in other parts of the state and mail it back. Game meat (moose and bear) and fish are very popular. I work part time at the local post office. Most of our meals are soups, stews and one pot. DH cooks dinner about half the time.</li> <li>I like to fish, pick berries, and of course cook. I like to volunteer to bake for the local school bake sales. I like to collect recipes for foods that I have a lot of and can easily get, hence fish, local berries and rhubarb are very popular items on my availability list. I don't have much of a knack for making up my own recipes, so this site has been wonderful as I used to stick to around a dozen different recipes. Before I got married, Top ramen and mac and cheese in a box were my usual foods.&nbsp;</li> <li>My life was different before I moved here. I had more time to cook, now I have very little free time and I cherish the little time I get to sit down.</li> </ul> <p>This life is not for every one, but it is simple and we are learning to live life and enjoy it. ( You don't move to Alaska for the weather)</p> <p><br /><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/banner.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/bayhill/bswap11.jpg alt= />, <br />..................with***Mandy***...................with Carol AT <br /><img src=http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o195/Lorrie61/holidaylinenswap07a.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/St%20Pats/4811_68279.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br />................. with Alskann...................with Becky in Wisconsin <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j10/housedaughter/cswap.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> .............Adopted by Trinkets.................with Jacqueline in Ky <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Zaar%20Food%20Photos/Food%20Photos%202008/herbspicesticker.jpg alt= />,with FrannieJ <br /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket />, Adopted by Cindy J<img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/honey-pot-print-c10069558.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> with K9 Owned <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg241/borealisbeegirl/ShoeboxSwap08BannerByUmSafia.jpg alt= /> <br />with Antifreesz <br /><img src=http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/QueenBee49444/CrazySwapBanner4.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Birthday%20and%20Celebration%20Images/spicesswap_amtag1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> Package sent to HokiesLady ....................with lazy gourmet <br />Received package from Amanda in OZ <br /><img src=http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/Purple-Swap-AM-Banner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket />with Susiecat Too, <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= />................<img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= />, <br /> by FloridaNative.................I adopted Diann is Cooking</p>
