Tasty Tuesdays...Reese's Chewy Chocolate Cookies

.

These cookies are a family favorite.  My sister is the one who originally found the recipe - on the back of the Reese's chip package!  I don't know exactly when she found the recipe but I remember making them in college - so it's been a while!

.

.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 3/4 cup cocoa

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1-1/4 cups butter, softened

- 2 cups sugar

- 2 eggs

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1-2/3 cups (10 oz package) Reese's Peanut Butter Chips

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.

.

2.  Beat butter and sugar in large bowl with mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in peanut butter chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. { The recipe says teaspoons, but mine are usually the size of tablespoons }

3.  Bake 8 to 9 minutes. (Do not overbake; cookies will be soft. They will puff while baking and flatten while cooling.) Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 4-1/2 dozen cookies.

.I've never tried the pan recipe, but it sure sounds good:

PAN RECIPE: Spread batter in greased 15-1/2x10-1/2x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Bake at 350°F 20 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack; cut into bars. About 4 dozen bars.
