The Pendergast’s (and Darren) and Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tim and I go have had a very interesting relationship over the years. It started with him bullying me, turned into something more, and has ended up in a great friendship. Tim is truly one of my best friends. I know I can always count on him and hope he knows he can do the same with me. Tim currently lives near Albany and is a high school math teacher. He has an amazing wife, Sarah, who I absolutely adore. They met in college at Fredonia. They have a dog “Chip” (sorry guys but I cannot remember his entire long ass name), and they have a Darren too (hahaha). Darren is a friend of theirs from college who is currently residing with them in Albany. Anyway, they are all awesome people and I hope they enjoy their little treat!
Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
By: Kathy Bliesner
"These cookies are really chewy and addictive."
Original Recipe Yield 2 dozen
Ingredients
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chopped semisweet chocolate
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the corn syrup, water, and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Fold in chocolate chunks. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
*** The only thing I changed to this recipe was the size of the cookies. Instead of ¼ cupfuls I used large tablespoons and cooked them for approximately 10 minutes. The recipe ended up making 2.5 dozen instead of two (I guess I didn’t make the cookies too much smaller- but they seemed like a good size).
