Peanut Butter Collision Cookies

In a mixing bowl combine softened butter and your sugars. Mix till they are fluffy and light yellow. Add in eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Add in vanilla and peanut butter and mix until well combined. Gently mix in the chocolate chunks.

In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking soda and the salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well.

Using an ice cream scoop or a ¼ cup measuring cup, place 6 scoops onto each lightly sprayed pan, make sure they are spaced well – these are big cookies. Take your hand and gently press down onto each cookie to flatten a bit.

Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

While cookies are baking cut peanut butter cups in half and set aside.

Remove cookies from oven and place 3 peanut butter cup halves on top of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven for 2-3 more minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet 2 minutes before removing to cooling racks.

Cookies will seem a bit undone, they will firm a bit when cooled and make for a delicious chewy cookie.

This recipe makes 18 nice big and thick cookies
