Have I got another "Upscale" cookie for you? You bet! It may look
like just another chocolate chip but this has peanut butter. (I understand the peanut butter you buy at your grocery store is still safe.) For these I might even test fate.
World's Greatest Peanut Butter Cookie
1 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 6 oz. package choc. chips (I always use 12 oz. - can you really ever have too much chocolate?)
Cream the butter and peanut butter together. Gradually add the white and brown sugars and cream until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time and beat until smooth. Sift flour, measure, then sift again with the baking soda. Add flour and soda to the creamed mixture. Beat until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop from a teaspoon onto a greased baking sheet. Bake in a 325 degree preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Makes 6 dozen two inch cookies.
Today I have to wish my mom, Bobi, a big happy birthday. She is 70 today and doesn't act a day over 25! She has more energy than I do and I can only hope that someday I look as lovely as she does! I love you mom for sharing with me your love of hostessing, your self deprecating humor, and most of all your love that you give so freely to everyone you meet. I am so lucky I get to call you mine! Now go make dad take you out to dinner!

I could have used this recipe last night!!
SO funny...I made regular chocolate chip cookies, but my youngest son wanted peanut butter. Then he said..."why didn't you just put chocolate chips in peanut butter cookies?"
I will do it next time and use this recipe!
A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your mom too:-)
Happy Birthday Mom and I am always up to eating a world's greatest cookie...especially when peanut butter is involved.
Rindy thanks so much for the surprise Birthday Greeting! I know, it is no surprise to turn 70 but to have your recognition on your blog made it really special. Of course, having the "movie" picture of the girls was really special and the greetings from your blogger friends was icing on the cake. But, when they eat those cookies they will want to live to be 100 so they can keep shoveling them in. Peanut Butter and longevity are synonymous.
