The Joy of Baking - Part 2

I like to watch this T.V. show called "The Take Home Chef". The premise is the following: blond Australian "chef" finds an unassuming woman in a grocery store (usually Whole Foods), asks her if she will allow him to make dinner for her and whomever she is cooking for that night, the woman is flattered and says yes, he buys the groceries, they stop by Sur la Table for some must have kitchen items for that night's menu, he cooks, tells her to go change, boyfriend/husband comes home to find gf/wife at home with camera crew and tall blond dude in his home. Surprise!

Anyways, one day he made a peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie that looked fairly easy and delicious. I had accidentally bought a jar of Trader Joe's Creamy Almond Butter, and it had been sitting in my pantry for awhile, so I decided to sub that in for peanut butter and made the cookies from his recipe. The cookie was savory in a way, but also sweet. I would probably use chunky almond/peanut butter next time. I also used two bars of Hershey's Special Dark chocolate for the recipe.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookie

Ingredients:
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of brown sugar
1 stick of butter
1 egg
1 cup of peanut butter (he used chunky, but creamy would be fine)
1/4 cup of honey
1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour
1 bar of chocolate (about 1-2 cups of broken chocolate pieces)

Directions:
Mix the baking soda, brown sugar, and butter together. Add the egg. Then add peanut butter and honey. Then add flour and chocolate and fold the wet and dry ingredients together.

Roll into small/medium sized dough balls, 6 to a tray.

Then bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.

Yield: About 28 cookies

And the result!
