Now let's get onto the blog I found in Blog-Land.....for my chocolate chip cookie recipe!

Bake or Break what a fun name for a blog. I have no idea when I came across this blog, but every time I look through it, I find something I want to make. I just discovered the COOLEST thing on her blog called RANDOM, I can't attach a link but click on over to her home page and click RANDOM. I really gotta get one of these tabs. And she lives in New York, my all-time favorite place in the world (and so fitting that I just returned from vacationing there last month, YEA ME), so now I have been there three times and my daughters claim they will be moving there after college. Bitter Sweet, but I still do LOVE IT!!!

When I announced that the CRAZY COOKING CHALLENGE this month would be Chocolate Chips Cookies, I had no idea what recipe I would make. I really do play along with you guys, I do not have my recipes already picked out. And because I have already found our FAVORITE Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, and my husband only likes ONE Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe (his mama's recipe, which is taken from the back of the Crisco box) and so, I went to my trusty file to see what I could find. There it was just sitting in there waiting to be baked: Chunky Peanut, Chocolate and Cinnamon Cookies which I have renamed Cinnamon Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. WOW, that's a mouth full!

This cookie is unlike the usual Chocolate Chip Cookie, you can taste the Peanut Butter and the cinnamon in every-bite. There is no-doughy flavor that you get from a regular chocolate chip cookie. NOT, that I don't like that, this is just VERY different, but so different and yet so delicious all at the same time. I bet if you didn't know the "name" of the cookie, you would be wondering, "What is in this Cookie?".

Cinnamon Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie
originally found on Bake or Break

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda

2 large eggs
1 & 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Beat butter and peanut butter using an electric mixer on medium speed. Mix about 2 minutes, or until combined. Add sugars and mix another 2 minutes. Add eggs and mix. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips, peanuts, and vanilla. Refrigerate dough about 15 minutes or until slightly firm.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls or use and ice cream scoop and place 2-3 inches apart on lined baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly. Bake 11-13 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire racks

  13. Wow, I never would have thought to put cinnamon together with chocolate and peanut butter. I love all three flavors, though, so I'll have to try these.

  16. These all look pretty drool worthy. I'd like to plead with you to host a rice pudding challenge. I can't find a single recipe for creamy, delicious rice pudding and I've dumped many a try over the bank.

  20. My husband would LOVE these b/c of chocolate chips and peanut butter!

  21. Ha, that is a LOT happening in one cookie. And each component is more delicious than the last! Wow. I am pretty sure I would overdose on flavor if I ate this cookie but in a totally blissed out sense of the word. Jeeze, amazingness. Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazingess.

    Sorry I haven't commented in so long! I have kind of fallen off the blogosphere this summer but, I still have been following and still love your recipes and will be a more devoted follower starting now!

    Thanks for always posting such awesome pieces :)
