Double Chipper Cookies are delicious homemade treats filled with semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and chopped pecans or walnuts!

Do you enjoy cookies? We sure do! They are perfect little mini-treats, and I’ve loved them since I was a little girl! It was always fun when my Mom made cookies! Well, these double chipper cookies are a delicious, decadent treat as well! The combination of chocolate AND peanut butter has always been a favorite of mine, so of course, I love these cookies!

These cookies are basically a chocolate chip cookie dough batter (with a couple tweaks, including peanut butter). They’re loaded with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips (yum), and chopped pecans (or walnuts). This was one of my fun cookie experiments that turned out wonderful!

They have TWO kinds of chips in them (semi-sweet and PB), which is why they are called “double chipper cookies”!  They’re a cinch to make, and it’s easy to whip up a batch of 36 small cookies in a flash! Here’s how:

Make The Batter For The Double Chipper Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350° F. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar and vanilla. Beat these ingredients until they are fully incorporated into the batter.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the cookie batter, and beat for about 3-4 more minutes. The batter should be light and fluffy at this point.

Ingredients for cookies are beaten into a thick batter.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking soda.  Add the flour mixture to the cookie batter, a little bit at a time, beating on low after each addition, until fully blended.

Dry ingredients are added to the cookie batter, a little at a time.The cookie dough is thick and ready for the final ingredients.

Add The Rest Of The Ingredients To The Cookie Dough

STIR the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and chopped pecans (or walnuts) into the dough, until fully blended.

Form The Double Chipper Cookies

Place a piece of parchment paper onto a 9×13″ baking sheet. Drop the cookie batter by small spoonfuls onto the paper, about 2″ apart. If you make the cookies small, you should get about 3 dozen cookies from the dough.

Cookie dough is dropped by spoonfuls on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake The Double Chipper Cookies

Bake the cookies at 350° F. for 8-10 minutes. Be sure to check them at the 8 minute mark, because oven temps vary greatly! When done, the cookies should have a golden brown edge on the bottom and be cooked through, but soft and light golden brown on top.

Let the cookies cool ON THE BAKING SHEET for 2-3 minutes, and then transfer them (with a spatula) to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Oatmeal Cranberry Pecan Cookies

Soft and chewy oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies, with a white chocolate drizzle on top, are easy to make, and sure to please kids of ALL ages!

Do you like cookies? We sure do, at our house!  I recently made a LOT of Christmas goodies to give to all our neighbors, a tradition I have kept for many years! One of the treats I made this year were these white chocolate drizzled oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies!

The recipe was a twist on my standard recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies, which I’ve been making for years. I simply made a few changes to the base recipe, and added a bit of “sparkle” on top, by drizzling each cookie with white chocolate! These simple chewy cookies turned out to be quite delicious, and today I’d like to share the easy recipe with you!

How To Make Oatmeal Cranberry Pecan Cookies

You will want to preheat your oven to 350° F. first, because these cookies come together very quickly.

Using a large bowl and electric mixers (or a stand mixer), mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy (note: photo below does not show the brown sugar.. Add 2 eggs and vanilla extract to the cookie dough batter. Mix well, to combine ingredients.

Butter and sugar are beaten together to make dough for cookies.

In a separate, medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.  Once combined, add the flour mixture to the cookie dough batter. Mix well, until all the flour is incorporated into the cookie dough.

Flour and spices are added to oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies dough.

Add the chopped pecans, dried cranberries and old-fashioned rolled oats to the cookie dough.  STIR these ingredients well, until they are fully combined. Now you have the dough ready to make some yummy oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies!

Rolled oats, dried cranberries and pecans are added to the cookie dough,

Drop the cookie dough by rounded Tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet. Be sure to leave about 1 inch in between the oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies, because they will spread slightly. NOTE: I made “drop” cookies. If you prefer a slightly “flatter” cookie, you can lightly press down on the tops of the dough.

Oatmeal cranberry pecan cookie dough is placed in spoonfuls on baking sheet.

Bake The Oatmeal Cranberry Pecan Cookies

Bake the oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies at 350° F. for 8-10 minutes, or until light golden brown. Since oven temps vary quite a bit, my advice is to check them at the eight minute mark. When done, take the oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies out of the oven. Leave them on the cookie sheet for a minute, THEN transfer them to a wire rack, to cool completely.

The oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies are baked until done and golden brown.

Make The White Chocolate Drizzle For Oatmeal Cranberry Pecan Cookies

Once the cookies have cooled, make the drizzle topping for the cookies, by melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in the microwave. To do this, place the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a microwave safe bowl.  Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir.  Put partially melted chocolate back in microwave and heat for another 30 seconds, Remove and stir, until creamy.

The reason for microwaving the chocolate in short amounts of time is so the chocolate won’t burn.  If there are still lots of unmelted white chocolate chips left after two stints in the microwave, place in microwave one more time for 15 seconds, and stir well. Be careful to NOT burn the chocolate!

Place a sheet of wax paper, parchment paper or aluminum foil UNDER the wire rack to catch drips (this will help with cleanup). When the white chocolate is smooth, drizzle it over the tops of each of the oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies, using a fork or spoon.

If you want to get fancy, you can place the melted chocolate into a pastry bag and “pipe” the white chocolate on, but in my humble opinion, it’s one more thing to wash!  A simple drizzle (with a fork or spoon) works just fine for me! Let the white chocolate firm up, and then the oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies are ready to eat! Store any leftover cookies in a covered container. YUM!

I really hope you will give these oatmeal cranberry pecan cookies a try! They are perfect to munch on, drop in a lunch box, or to serve as an afternoon or evening treat! Have a GREAT day!

Triple Chip Bar Cookies

You'll love these EASY to make Triple Chip Bar Cookies, loaded with semi-sweet, white, and cinnamon chips- have a dozen treats ready to eat in about 30 minutes!

If you’re looking for a ridiculously simple and DELICIOUS dessert that is a snap to make, then look no further. Have I got a recipe idea for YOU! Filled with assorted chips, these amazing tasting bar cookies are packed with flavor! AND… (drum roll, please!)… they only took 10 minutes to get into the oven!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Triple Chip Bar Cookies

Before beginning to make batter, preheat oven to 350° F, and line an 8×8 baking dish with aluminum foil. Be sure to let the ends of the foil overlap and hang over the sides of the baking dish. This will help to lift the entire pan of bar cookies out of the dish after baking. Spray the foil (bottom and sides) with non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together melted butter and brown sugar until blended.  I used a spoon- no need for a mixer.  Add egg and vanilla extract, stir until fully incorporated.Mixing batter for triple chip cookie bars.

Stir the flour, baking powder and salt into the batter.  Add assorted chocolate chips (I used white chocolate, cinnamon and semi-sweet chips… if you can’t find cinnamon chips at your store (sometimes they are seasonal), you can substitute butterscotch or peanut butter chips). Stir the batter until ingredients are fully combined.

Flour, mixture plus cinnamon, chocolate and white chips added to bar cookie batter.

Bake The Bar Cookies

Spread the batter into your prepared baking dish.  Bake triple chip bar cookies at 350° F. for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. You can also test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle top of the bar cookies. If it comes out clean with no dough on it, they are ready!

Since oven temperatures vary greatly, I recommend checking them at 20 minutes, then bake a few minutes longer, if necessary, to ensure they are baked through.

Once done, place the baking dish on a wire rack and let them cool for about 10 minutes.  Using the foil overhangs, carefully lift the entire pan of bar cookies out of the dish and place (still on the foil) onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Once cool, cut into 12 equal sized squares. I find that using a pizza slicer works great to cut the bars quickly and cleanly, but it’s not necessary to use one!

Triple chip bar cookies are cut into 12 pieces with pizza cutter.

Time To Serve These Triple Chip Bar Cookies

And just like that, in about 30 minutes from start to finish, you can have some really delicious triple chip bar cookies!  I personally think they taste best at room temperature!

Triple chip bar cookies are served on a light green plate.

The triple chip bar cookies freeze well, too, so if you have any leftovers (notice I said “IF”), wrap them very well in aluminum foil and save a few for a rainy day! My husband poured a cold glass of milk and gobbled up two of these treats before I knew what happened!

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies

Crunchy, creamy, chocolate covered peanut butter Ritz cookies are quick, delicious, and totally EASY holiday treats to make, using only a few ingredients! Crunchy, creamy, chocolate covered peanut butter ritz cookies are quick, delicious, and totally EASY holiday treats to make, using only a few ingredients!

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz® Cookies are an annual Christmas family tradition for us. The recipe has been handed down from my Aunt to my Mom, and then to me. These delectable treats are incredibly FAST and EASY to make, which is perfect for this busy time of year!

Many years ago (at least 15), my Mom shared these cookies with me and told me that her sister, my Aunt Theda in Texas made them for her, and Mom raved about how good they were! I tried a couple, and sure enough, they tasted fantastic.

When I asked my Mom how to make them she told me how incredibly easy it was.  I really loved my sweet Aunt… she passed away quite a few years ago, but I think of her whenever I make these goodies.

I’ve made these cookies so many times since then, but finally took pictures and decided to share the “recipe” on this blog.  I added a white glaze drizzled over the top, and some red and white sprinkles for the Christmas season, but really all you need to make these is 4 ingredients! Here’s how to make a quick dozen of these yummy stacked goodies.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies

Place 12 Ritz® crackers onto a piece of parchment paper.  Spread a teaspoon of creamy peanut butter onto each one. When done, top with another cracker.

Creamy peanut butter is spread on Ritz cracker for cookies.

Make The Dipping Chocolate

Melt 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 HEAPING Tablespoon vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl the microwave. Heat on High for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir the chocolate. It will not be completely melted at this point.

Place the bowl back in microwave oven and heat an additional 30 seconds on High. Remove the bowl and stir the mixture again, until completely smooth.

Chocolate chips are melted with shortening to cover the peanut butter ritz cookies.

Time To Dip Some Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies!

Dip cookies, one at a time into melted chocolate mixture. I use a fork to hold the cookie, and sometimes use a spoon to help coat the entire cookie with chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip back into bowl. Place the cookie back onto a piece of parchment paper.

Do not move the chocolate covered peanut butter Ritz cookies once you set them down.  Repeat process with all of the cookies. Once the chocolate has firmed up, they are ready to eat, unless you want to decorate them.

Each of the peanut butter ritz cookies are covered with melted chocolate

Decorating The Cookies More?

If you want to decorate the cookies, let the cookies sit, undisturbed, until the chocolate has firmed up completely.  To make an icing to decorate with, place powdered sugar in a small bowl.  Add only a couple drops of water at a time to the sugar, stirring well, until the glaze has reached a drizzling consistency.

Too thin? Add additional powder sugar. Too thick?  Add a drop or two of water.  Use a fork to drizzle the icing over each cookie.  Garnish with colored sprinkles, if desired, while glaze is still wet.

NOTE: You do not have to drizzle powdered sugar glaze on them. You can shorten the process even further by garnishing the fresh dipped chocolate cookies with candy colored sprinkles and leave off the white icing altogether if you want!

Ready To Serve!

Let the icing completely firm up at room temperature.  Once chocolate and icing are totally firm, cookies can be transferred to a serving plate for everyone to enjoy!

These delicious cookies can be decorated any way you wish. When I make these and it’s NOT Christmas time, I simply leave them plain, with only the chocolate covering them, and no powdered sugar drizzle. They taste good whether you fancy them up or not!

Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Ritz Cookies can be decorated in various ways.

The flavor is wonderful in these treats, with the creamy peanut butter AND the chocolate coating going so well together. They remain crunchy from the cracker “shell”. The chocolate peanut butter Ritz cookies are so good it will be hard to stay out of them. Just remember to leave at least ONE left for good ol’ Santa Claus!

I love to make these family favorites at Christmas time. They are made quickly without a lot of ingredients (a big plus), look good and taste even better! I hope you will consider making these chocolate covered peanut butter Ritz cookies a part of your holiday traditions, too!

Easy To Make, Using Store Bought Shortbread Cookies!

These festive looking goodies are so easy because… wait for it… YOU USE STORE-BOUGHT SHORTBREAD COOKIES! That’s a major time-saver right there, folks!

I don’t know about you, but the Christmas season seems to get quite busy, whether I want it to or not.  Why not take some of the holiday “stress” out of the day, and make these delicious decorated cookies in no time at all?

All you will need are some store-bought shortbread cookies (any shape or size), some milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips, a bit of vegetable shortening, and Christmas sprinkles to fancy the treats up a bit! I used an assortment of Walker’s Shortbread that my hubby bought in a huge tin at Costco (but Lorna Doone’s are wonderful, as well)! 

Ingredients necessary for chocolate dipped shortbread cookies.

The good part about using store-bought shortbread is that you can “make” as many cookies you want!

How To Make Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies

Spread a sheet of parchment paper on work surface. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in heat-proof bowl in microwave. 30 Seconds on High. Remove. Stir. 30 seconds on High. Remove. Stir. The chocolate should have melted.

If not, place back in for 15 seconds, being careful not to burn it.  Dip one end of the cookie into the melted chocolate mixture, making sure to cover all sides. (I use a spoon to help coat it with chocolate).

Dipping part of the shortbread cookie into chocolate.

As soon as the shortbread is covered to your liking, place it onto parchment paper. Once you set it down, don’t move it or the chocolate will smear.

Immediately garnish with colored sprinkles (sprinkle them on using your fingers) while chocolate is still wet. Do NOT dip the wet cookie into the sprinkles or it will be a BIG mess. Trust me!

Repeat process until all cookies are decorated.  Let the cookies rest on the parchment paper without moving them until the chocolate has hardened.

Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies are on parchment paper, until chocolate firms up.

Ready To EAT!

Once the chocolate is firm, transfer cookies to a serving plate, and serve.  See how cute they are?  I used an assortment of triangular, rectangular and circular shaped cookies!

The chocolate dipped shortbread cookies would be a perfect hostess gift for a special friend, or served on a pretty Christmas platter at a dessert buffet or Christmas party!

They look fancy, but no one needs to know how easy they were to make!  I mean, really… who wouldn’t like a sweet, buttery shortbread cookie dipped in chocolate, topped with “Christmasy” looking sprinkles?

Our home is in the middle of a total kitchen remodel this Christmas season, so we have nothing in the kitchen at the moment except walls, floor and ceiling. I made the chocolate dipped shortbread cookies (pictured above) in October before construction began. They were wrapped and frozen, so I would still be able to give my neighbors plates of yummy goodies at Christmas, as is my tradition!

There may not be a kitchen available to me this year, but I can still give gifts of food! I might have even saved a few chocolate dipped shortbread cookies for my husband and I as well! Yum! Hope you’ll enjoy making and eating these Christmas cookies!

Cinnamon Chip Cookies

Buttery, soft, and filled with the flavor of cinnamon, these yummy Cinnamon Chip Cookies are so incredibly easy to make, you won’t believe it!Buttery, soft, and filled with the flavor of cinnamon, these yummy Cinnamon Chip Cookies are so incredibly easy to make, you won't believe it!
Recently I found a recipe for cookies that sounded easy and delicious in one of my old cookbooks.  The original recipe called for using chocolate cake mix and white chocolate chips to make a fast, delicious and easy cookie. I decided to tweak the recipe just a bit, and that’s how I came up with this recipe for yummy cinnamon chip cookies!

The cookies are so EASY to make, because a boxed cake mix is used as the base.  The prep time is only about 5 minutes, so you can have fresh baked, soft and delicious cinnamon chip cookies in the oven in under 10 minutes!

How To Make Cinnamon Chip Cookies

In a large mixing bowl, place the cake mix powder, vegetable oil, water and an egg.  Stir these ingredients well (or use electric mixer), until ingredients are fully combined.

Cake mix, egg, etc. in a large bowl, to make batter for cinnamon chip cookies.

Batter for the cinnamon chip cookies in large mixing bowl.

Add the cinnamon chips to the batter. Stir, until the mixture is fully combined.

Cinnamon chips are added to the cookie batter, then stirred to combine.

The cinnamon chips are mixed into the cookie batter.

Spray your cookie sheets with non-stick spray.  Drop cookie batter by rounded Tablespoons onto cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each one. NOTE: Quantity using a standard sized Tablespoon will yield about 4 dozen cinnamon chip cookies. I used large HEAPING Tablespoons of batter, so my quantity was reduced to 2 dozen).

The dough for cinnamon chip cookies is placed in scoops onto baking sheet.

Time To Bake Cinnamon Chip Cookies!

Bake these cookies in preheated 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. When done, the batter should be set, and the tops of the cookies should have a crackled appearance. If you are making the larger sized cookies, the cooking time will need to be increased, to make sure they are cooked through.

When cookies are done, remove cookie sheets from oven. Important: Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes, BEFORE transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Cinnamon Chip Cookies are ready to eat, served on a white plate.

Once the cinnamon chip cookies have completely cooled, they are ready to eat! The cookies have great flavor, and are SO EASY to make, and I hope you enjoy them.  They really taste good! Why not share a little plate of cookies with a neighbor? That’s a great conversation starter!

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you will come back soon for more yummy, family-friendly recipes. Have a fantastic day.

Chocolate Oaties

Looking for a quick and easy treat? How about Chocolate Oaties? They are delicious “No-Bake” drop cookies featuring chocolate, peanut butter, nuts and oats? The best part is they only take about 10 minutes to make, and are soooo GOOD. Yes, please!

I grew up eating Chocolate Oaties. My Mom made them for our family quite often, I suppose because they taste so good (gotta be that chocolate-peanut butter combo!). It also may have been because they are fairly inexpensive and ridiculously QUICK AND EASY to make in 10 minutes.

Whatever her reasons were, these no-bake cookies were always a big hit with our family.  I’ve been making them this way for over 45 years now, and they never fail to get gobbled up! Here’s how to make them:

How To Make Chocolate Oaties

Measure the peanut butter, oats, vanilla, salt and chopped nuts into a large mixing bowl. Set aside. It’s important to do this BEFORE next step! Trust me.

Ingredients for chocolate oaties in bowl.

In a medium saucepan, place sugar, cocoa, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook on medium heat, stirring often, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil ingredients for 1 minute.

Cocoa, butter, sugar and evaporated milk cook before adding to dry ingredients.

Immediately remove the chocolate sauce from heat and pour over peanut butter/oat mixture in mixing bowl while it is boiling hot.  The very hot chocolate sauce helps to melt the peanut butter!

Hot cocoa mixture poured over peanut butter, oats and nuts.

Stir the chocolate oaties well, to fully melt peanut butter and combine all ingredients.  Place a piece of wax paper on a 9×13 baking sheet.

Ingredients are stirred to combine ingredients for chocolate oaties.

Form And Then Refrigerate The Chocolate Oaties

Drop the chocolate oaties batter by rounded spoonfuls onto wax paper. Use 2 spoons… one to scoop, and the back of the other to scoop/drop cookies onto paper. Place the baking sheet (uncovered) into refrigerator, and refrigerate for an hour so they can set up.

Chocolate Oaties firm up in the refrigerator before serving.

Time To Eat Some Yummy Chocolate Oaties!

After they have been refrigerated for an hour or more, they’re ready to enjoy! That’s it!!!  See how easy that was?  Remember to store any uneaten chocolate oaties in a covered container in refrigerator. By the way… here’s one I saved for you… want a bite?

Here's a single chocolate oatie just for YOU!

I hope you enjoy these quick, yummy, easy to prepare drop cookies… we sure do! They are so delicious, it is hard to keep away from them… ha ha! Have a GREAT day, friends.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip n’ Nut Cookies

Soft peanut butter chocolate chip cookies filled with milk chocolate chips and chopped peanuts make these simple old-fashioned cookies a real treat!Soft peanut butter chocolate chip cookies filled with milk chocolate chips and chopped peanuts make these simple old-fashioned cookies a real treat!

I recently made a batch of Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip n’ Nut Cookies using a recipe a dear friend gave me over 20 years ago. Soft peanut butter cookies filled with milk chocolate chips and chopped peanuts make these simple old-fashioned cookies a real taste treat!

I slightly tweaked her delicious recipe to include chopped dry roasted peanuts to the mix (you can also use cocktail peanuts), and enjoy the extra little bit of crunch and peanut flavor the nuts bring to the cookie.  I made large cookies and the recipe yielded about 3½ dozen, but if you need a larger quantity, simply make the cookies smaller! Here’s how easy the cookies are to prepare:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Cream together room temperature butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs until well combined.  In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Continue to beat on low, adding a little flour at a time, until all dough is fully mixed together.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip n' Nut Cookies / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Stir in milk chocolate chips and chopped peanuts. I used chopped dry roasted peanuts, but cocktail peanuts would be fine, as well.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip n' Nut Cookies / The Grateful Girl Cooks!Large Or Small Cookies?

If making large cookies, drop the dough by heaping Tablespoons onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet. If you’re going to make smaller cookies (with greater quantity), drop by rounded teaspoons.

Keep the dough for the cookies about 2 inches apart because they will spread while baking.  I try to form each one into a circle shape by using my clean hands around the edges, then pat them down on top a bit, to flatten them slightly.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip n' Nut Cookies / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Bake Times For Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bake the large cookies at 375 degrees.  They take between 12 and 14 minutes to fully cook and turn slightly golden brown around edges. Smaller cookies will cook in about 9-10 minutes. When done, remove cookies from oven; let them cool for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

That’s it, except for taking a big old bite out of that cookie when you just can’t stand it anymore! While you’re at it, grab a cup of ice cold milk to wash this delicious treat down!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip n' Nut Cookies / The Grateful Girl Cooks!

Now you know how to make this simple old-fashioned, delicious cookie for those you love.  I think they get better as they sit, because they seem to get more chewy the next day!

You Can Freeze The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Dough

I set aside some of the dough, shaped it into 2 logs, then tightly wrapped each in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and froze 2 packages of dough to use another time! That way, when we crave homemade cookies, all I have to do is cut, slice and bake a small batch of these yummy cookies!

These really are delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, and I hope you enjoy them. Have a wonderful day!

Ingredients
  • cups butter (room temp.)
  • cups creamy peanut butter
  • cups granulated sugar
  • cups packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • cups all purpose flour
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • teaspoons baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add flour mix to peanut butter mixture. Continue to beat on low, adding a little flour at a time, until ingredients are fully combined.
  2. Stir in milk chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.
  3. If making large sized cookies, drop dough by heaping Tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheet (*small cookies, drop by teaspoonfuls).

Recipe Notes

The large cookies are about 3 inches in diameter. If you want to make smaller cookers (more quantity), just use rounded teaspoonfuls, instead of Tablespoonfuls of dough, and bake for less time.

Make A Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza As A Gift!

I made the giant cookie pizza, pictured above, as a birthday gift for a friend. The chocolate chip cookie pizza was placed inside a pizza box, and hand delivered right to her front doorstep. There was no tipping of the delivery driver necessary!  What a fun way to honor them in a unique way on their special day.

Giant cookie pizza, out of oven, and ready to be decorated!

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza Is HUGE

The cookie itself is very easy to make, and it is BIG! This cookie is baked on a traditional 12 inch round pizza pan. It is a big dessert, which can be cut into 12 individual servings.

Once baked and cooled, the cookie is drizzled decoratively with semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate for a finishing touch. Once the chocolate icing has firmed up, the cookie is ready to be served (or boxed up for delivery).

Fire Up The Birthday Candles!

Add some little birthday candles once the pizza box is opened, to make it an extra special birthday gift! This treat is so easy, and once delivered in a pizza box, it becomes a unique treat for a special friend or family member. 

The cookie can be sliced into 12 pie shaped wedges with a pizza cutter. Just remember… if your friend decides to eat the WHOLE cookie themselves, they’re going to need a HUGE glass of milk!

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening , divided (1 for semi-sweet, 1 for white chocolate)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
To Make Cookie:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In medium bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt together. Set bowl aside.
  3. Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed until well combined (about 2 minutes). Add egg; beat for 1 minute on high. Add vanilla extract, and beat well to combine.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Slowly mix on low until they are fully combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Place the dough onto prepared pizza pan. Use a rubber spatula or your clean fingers to spread and flatten out the thick dough until the dough just about reaches the edges of pan.
  6. Bake cookie for 22-25 minutes. When done, the cookie should be lightly browned on top. If you want crispy edges on the cookie, let it bake a couple minutes longer. When done, remove pan to a wire rack and let cookie cool (still on the pan).
To Make Decorative Drizzle:
  1. Place semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips in two separate bowls. Add 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening to each bowl. Microwave each on high for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. If necessary, heat additional 15 seconds, then stir, until smooth. Do not over cook as the chocolate can burn. Drizzle the chocolate over the cooled cookie in a decorative pattern. Let chocolate firm up on pizza before wrapping as a gift or slicing. For packaging, place cookie on parchment paper (cut to fit) and place cookie "pizza" inside a clean pizza box.
Recipe Notes

Dough can be prepared ahead of time. Prepare dough as directed. Wrap dough in plastic wrap then cover with foil. May be stored 3 days in fridge or up to 3 months in freezer. If freezing, thaw dough in fridge before placing/spreading onto pizza pan.

Butterscotch Chip Cookies

Your family will LOVE these crispy, chewy, easy to make, flavor-filled Butterscotch Chip Cookies for dessert or snack time!Your family will LOVE these crispy, chewy, easy to make, flavor-filled Butterscotch Chip Cookies for dessert or snack time!
I recently experimented with a cookie recipe I found on Pinterest many months ago. These Butterscotch Chip Cookies were wonderful!  The use of browned butter and butterscotch chips in the recipe add even more unique flavor to these chewy, crispy, fabulous tasting treats!

These delicious butterscotch chip cookies were so EASY to make, and they truly have a wonderful butterscotch flavor!  The recipe makes about 4½ dozen small cookies, but (as you will be able to see from my photos) I made them slightly larger than original recipe instructed, so my net yield was 28 cookies. Whether you choose to prepare large or small cookies, here’s how to make them:

How To Make Butterscotch Chip Cookies

Begin by browning the butter. To do this, place 1½ cubes of butter in a skillet. Melt butter using medium heat, until the butter melts, begins to bubble, froths up, then slightly browns (don’t let butter get too brown… just barely!). Once done, remove skillet from heat.

Add browned butter and brown sugar to a large mixer bowl. Beat these together on medium speed. Once mixed, let mixture sit for a couple minutes, stirring occasionally to let the mixture cool down a bit before adding other ingredients.

You don’t want the mixture hot when you add eggs or they could begin to scramble. Definitely… you really DON’T want that to happen! Once the mixture has cooled down a bit, add salt, eggs, and vanilla extract.  Mix well.

After this, STIR in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Once mixed, add butterscotch chips and stir well to combine. Set aside.

Roll The Cookie Dough Into Round Balls

In a separate small bowl, mix together brown sugar and granulated sugar, for topping.  Use a 1 Tablespoon sized scoop to scoop dough from bowl and roll dough between your clean hands to form a ball.

*Note: This is where I used a slightly larger scoop to make cookies larger. Process is still the same, though. Once dough is a ball, place it in brown sugar/granulated sugar topping. Roll dough around to cover completely with sugar topping.

Bake The Butterscotch Chip Cookies

Place topping covered balls of dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Keep the dough balls about 2 inches apart, as they spread a bit while baking. Bake butterscotch chip cookies in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes.

When done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the cookies rest for about a minute on baking sheet, then carefully remove them with a spatula to a wire rack, to finish cooling.

Once cooled, pile some on a plate, pour yourself a big old glass of milk… and dig in! They’re delicious!

I hope you enjoy these wonderful cookies! My husband was unexpectedly rushed to the ER and hospitalized earlier this week, and making these butterscotch chip cookies ( a few for us, and the rest for friends) helped take my mind off of everything. He is doing okay now, and we are very grateful to God for his recovery and the additional medical care he is receiving.

Have a blessed day. Be kind.
