Does anybody remember this Certs commercial? It's a candy mint ! It's a breath mint! No! It's two, two... two mints in one! What do you think about those polka-dot dresses... wow!
I wanted to make peanut butter cookies. I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies. So, what we have here are two, two... two cookies in one!
A lot of people really love the peanut butter-chocolate flavor combination and these cookies give just a hint of each. I adapted these using the Original Nestle Toll House Cookie Recipe by adding peanut butter and chopped peanuts. I also upped the vanilla from 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon and added an additional egg and 3/4 cups of flour.
These cookies are crisp on the outside with crunchy peanuts and creamy chocolate in the center.
What a great idea, sounds as good a Reeses chocolate peanut butter cups...yum ! :)

Yes, I remember that commercial. Now I feel old..haha

I love that commercial! The cookies sound yummy!! I love the Tollhouse recipe. This also reminded me of the chocolate and peanut butter Reeses commercial. Remember- "you've got chocolate in my peanut butter."
ReplyDeleteOh yes I remember those commercials! The cookies sound so good, they'd already be gone if they were in this house!!
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate chips cookies!
ReplyDeleteYum, I love peanut butter and chocolate togehter!
ReplyDeleteI love your cookies; two cookies in one! Peanut butter and chocolate chips are one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteLove that old commercial; haven't seen it in years. Thanks for the rememberance!
Cookies made from scratch - that's a dying art in my house. Those break-n-bake cookies hit my sheet pans more often than not. You've inspired me to do it the real way.
ReplyDeleteHello nice to meet you Karen. I came to thank you for visiting my blog and was very surprised to see that you and I are on the same wavelength. I just posted my own version of macadamia choc chip bikkies (we say in australia) and was delighted to see your cookies.
ReplyDeleteI love your presentation. I didn't realise a cold baking tray or cold dough would curb the spreading. Great tip - thanks.
These look good enough to risk the hives I usually get when eating peanuts and PB! 8-)
ReplyDeleteNice cookies. Wish I had one right now with my coffee!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and for your comments Karen!
ReplyDeleteI do remember that commercial. LOL
ReplyDeletethe cookies look great!! and so does your header. You are just having fun with your headers... very creative. ( as you know, I am not. )
Mmmmm, love the chocolate-peanut butter combo. Homemade cookies are the best.

Great recipe. I love peanut butter cookies, adding chocolate just makes them even better!
ReplyDeleteUhhhh, yes! These look incredible!
ReplyDeleteI love it - the reference to the commercial and your cookies is great :)
ReplyDeleteTwo great cookies in one! Love the polka dots in the cookies and dresses. Boy commercials were corny back then.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen- I love the changes here, I love the cookies! I can do without the polka dots ;) but it brought me back. Have a great Easter gf xo
ReplyDeleteI love the chocolate/p.b combo in cookies! These look great.
ReplyDeleteThat commercial is a crack up. I remember the same concept with a later commercial I think. And of course, who wouldn't love peanut butter cookies with chocolate!
ReplyDeleteYum, pb choc chip is one of my fave cookie combos. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips on recipe modification, they could not sound more amazing!
