Servings 2 dozen

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• 1 cup peanut butter I used creamy, I want to try chunky
• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• As many Ghirardelli baking chips as makes you happy. I think I used 1 cup.

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Set aside.
• Use an electric mixer (I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer), beat all ingredients in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
• Bake until the cookies start to lightly brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I really went back and forth on whether or not I would talk about what happened in Newton here, but it’s been weighing on me heavily so I decided to do it. A mention in a blog post seems so trivial, but when you think of it as bloggers across the country uniting to remember the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, I think it is pretty awesome. In the off chance that anyone personally affected by this tragedy sees this post, I just want you to know you’ve all been in my thoughts and prayers this week.
