Peanut Butter Chocolate Smooch Cookies



We just have to share this
quick, simple and
cheapo depot
cookie recipe.

We were trying to come up with a way
to make our $0.75 roll of cookie dough
a little special.


Yep! 
You did read that correct.
$0.75
And we are talking the HUGE roll.

We knew about placing a Hershey Kiss into the cookies,
but did not have any on hand.
Lo and behold hiding in the pantry was a bag of
Milk Chocolate Chips.

So our cookies became
Peanut Butter Chocolate Smooch Cookies.

Ingredients:
Peanut Butter Cookie dough
Milk Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Shape teaspoon size dough into balls.
(we like bite size cookies, so we use a little less per ball)
Place on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 9-13 minutes until golden brown.
Remove to cooling rack and place chips into warm cookies.


Now for our special tip for the day.
Make sure the oven is at 350
NOT 500
or your 1st batch of cookies will look a little like this.

(can you see we are trying to get your eyes off the burnt cookie)
