La Kitchenette Souris : Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

You may see this cookie recipe more than once, in photos, perhaps.

I use the dough base to do a lot of different types of cookies: around Christmas I made these, but put almonds & cinnamon on top.

You could also put:

~ any sort of nuts

~ a few pieces of fruit

~ jelly beans

~mini eggs to make bird nests

~ cinnamon hearts

~ any sort of chocolate chips, etc.

I used my thumb to make a small imprint & tucked my chips into that. 

Other things to sprinkle on top:

~cinnamon

~coconut flakes

~sprinkles

~chocolate shavings (right after they have come out of the oven)

Some of my cookies have been super fluffy & haven't spread at all.

Other batches have flatted & spread like mad (as you can see in the below photo).

Seems to be different depending on whether you use butter or margarine. 

I would be interested in seeing how yours turn out & what you used!

Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

1 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

2 1/2 cups flour (or possibly a bit more, if dough is too sticky)

Mix all ingredients together.

The longer you knead, the smoother & less crumbly the dough will get.

Form into 1 inch balls & press down with a fork.

(Or use your thumb like I stated above)

These can also be rolled out & cut with cookie cutters. 

Bake at 300F for 10-12 minutes.
