Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies



I am totally loving these little cookies!  As soon as I saw the recipe for these little guys, I knew that I had to make them.  They are so perfect for my Hungry Puppies!  They are teeny tiny crisp yet tender little cookies that you just won't be able to get over.  There is a little bit extra work involved, as you have to roll all of the dough into little marble sized balls, but hey, isn't that what little Hungry Puppy hands are for?  I had one Hungry Puppy rolling them, and one Hungry Puppy eating them.  We still got the job done, and the best part?  My hungry puppies think they are amazing.  I kind of do too.  Original recipe found here.


Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies


1/2 cup shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup toffee bits


Preheat the oven to 350F.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.


Beat together the shortening, salt, baking soda, and peanut butter until creamy.  Beat in the sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.  Add the egg and beat until completely incorporated.  Stir in the flour, chocolate chips, and toffee bits, until just combined.


Scoop the dough by heaping 1/4 teaspoonfuls (yes heaping 1/4 teaspoon) and roll into balls.  They should be about the size of a marble.  Arrange on the prepared baking sheets and baked for about 10 to 12 minutes.  The cookies should be fully set and slightly golden brown.  Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.  Makes somewhere in the vicinity of 100 cookies, depending on their size.


Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
