Tried a new recipe yesterday

I got this recipe from a blog done by the winner of the Pillsbury Bake-Off a couple years ago. She's the one who made a chicken & stuffing dinner using frozen waffle sticks. This recipe made 22 cookies and used items that I had on hand - very easy. I didn't follow the directions to a T. I mixed all of the sugars and wet items, then mixed in all the dry ingredients before adding the chocolate. I didn't have the peanut butter cups so I cut up one of the 5000 candy bars we got from Skippy.

One Bowl Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Cookies

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup all purpose or white whole wheat flour (95 grams)
15 miniature peanut butter cups, frozen and chopped or 3-4 oz milk chocolate

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, beat together butter and both sugars. You can use an electric mixer, but I used a spoon. Beat in the peanut butter, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Beat vigorously and thoroughly to distribute baking soda and salt, scraping sides as you go, then add the egg and beat just until it is mixed in. Add the flour and stir, do not beat, until it is absorbed, then mix in the cups.

Using a small cookie scoop (2 tsp) or a rounded teaspoon, drop dough onto two ungreased cookie sheets, 10-12 cookies to a sheet. Flatten tops slightly. Bake on center rack, one sheet at a time for 12 minutes or until cookies appear set.

Makes 20-24 cookies

Paul really liked them and we have few left today.
