Reese's Chewy Chocolate Cookies

It's time for our bi-weekly excuse for dessert...we are having the missionaries (from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) over for dinner tonight. I decided to make cookies. I felt obligated to taste them (just in case they aren't any good). They are great!


Reese's Chewy Chocolate Cookies
2 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. butter or margarine
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 2/3 c. peanut butter chips

1. Heat oven to 350° F.
2. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in peanut butter chips.
3. Drop by rounded teaspoon-fulls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-9 mins. (Do not overbake, cookies will be soft. They will puff while baking and flatten while cooling.) Cool slightly, remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

Makes about 4 1/2 dozen.
