Peanut butter Cookies with Chocolate


Sure we have wonderful products here such as Olive oil, Rioja wine, Piquillo peppers... and so many others, but I have recently discovered Peanut butter and I must confess I am totally devoted to its delicious flavour and aroma!

My daughter and I are starting our "spring diet" which is nothing special.... just eating healthy, seasonal and lots of vegetables and fruits. But, these cookies are shaking our will and making it real hard to follow the rules.



I have run out of the Delicious ingredient and I have to place an order to my online supermarket today... Will I be weak? 
Yes, I was weak... I did it again (like Britney Spears), but this time I bought the crunchy type; I was curious about the difference between one and the other and it's mainly about the small peanut pieces that you can find in it. I liked the creamy type better. And I invite everybody to taste it. I think that here in Spain, we only hear about peanut butter in the movies and it's high time we use it in our kitchens! 


Ingredients for a batch of humango cookies: 1/2 a cup of butter, 1/2 a cup of sugar, 1/2 a cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar, 1 egg, 3/4 a cup of Peter Pan creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt and 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  • Preheat oven at 180ºC.
  • Have the butter at room temperature and mix with the sugars and the egg until you get an homogeneous dough. Add the peanut butter and mix again. You can use an electric mixer if you want.
  • Sift the flour in a different bowl and add the baking powder and the salt. Mix and add to the first dough. Use a spatula to get an homogeneous dough again. Add the choco chips.
  • With the help of two spoons, make little balls and place over the oven paper on the oven's tray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cookies get golden on top.
  • Place over a rack to cool them down.... and devour them!!!
