Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (pareve)

These are our favorites and brought great praise to the baker due to their (slightly) more complicated nature. We thought they were delicious although one of our Shabbos guests (who will never be invited back!) pronounced them dry.

6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1-cup margarine, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1-cup smooth peanut butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 (12 oz.) package (2 cups) chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Melt semisweet chocolate until smooth and allow to cool slightly. Cream together margarine, sugars and peanut butter. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and baking soda and mix and until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Carefully stir in melted chocolate to create marbleized effect (do not completely combine). Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for 1 –2 minutes; then remove to wire rack to finish cooling.


PB Chocolate Chip Cookies (pareve)

3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups (12 ounce package) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat together margarine, sugars and peanut butter until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. Let stand for a few minutes; then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
