    Get Baked: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with @ZulkaSugar

    The holidays are a great time to experiment in the kitchen.  I was recently inspired to mix up a recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies using a substitute for both white and brown sugars.  Zulka makes sugar that is minimally processed and comes straight from freshly-harvested sugar cane.  Their brown sugar is non-GMO project verified and blended with fresh molasses.  Together, they perfect an already stellar recipe.  Have at it and watch them disappear within a few minutes.

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies 
    1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
    3/4 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/4 tsp salt
    1/2 cup softened, unsalted butter 
    1 cup crunchy peanut butter
    3/4 cup Zulka Morena pure cane sugar
    1/2 cup packed Zulka Brown pure cane sugar
    1 egg
    1 Tbsp milk
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 cup peanut butter chips
    1 cup chocolate chips

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  In a large bowl, combine butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until well blended and creamy.  Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk.  In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Combine the two mixtures, then mix in both chips.  Roll about 2 Tbsp of dough into a balls and place about 2” apart on an ungreased or paper lined baking sheet.  Press down lightly onto the baking sheet just enough to slightly flatten.  Bake for about 10 minutes and allow to cool completely before enjoying.  This recipe makes about 24-30 cookies.

    Oatmeal, Walnuts, and Chocolate Chips – OH MY!

    Okay, so I know that spring is just around the corner, and yes, it is imperative that we look slim and trim for the warm weather, but this is a recipe I just couldn’t resist sharing!

    Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies are a guilty pleasure that never fail to impress. They’re great to keep around the house or to give as a gift (because you know, every party host loves more food). What I love the most about them is that, with loads of oatmeal, they’re so wholesome and filling that one is enough to satisfy your sweet tooth — but I can’t promise you won’t reach for a second 😉 .

    I swear by these cookies, they’re incredibly delicious and so easy to make — there’s no way you could possibly mess screw them up!

     

    So, here’s how it’s done:

    STEP ONE: Mix 2 Sticks Butter , 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, and 1/2 Cup White Sugar until Creamy

    STEP TWO: Then add 2 Large Eggs and 2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract

    STEP THREE: Separately, Combine All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 Teaspoon of Salt, and 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

    STEP FOUR: Mix the wet and dry ingredients then add 3 Cups Old Fashion Oats, 1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips, and 1 Cup Walnuts

    STEP FIVE: Refrigerate mixture for 30 mins, then place 1 tablespoon sized rounds onto a baking sheet; Bake at 325 degrees F for 12 minutes.

    AND VOILÁ!

    **NOTE: This recipe makes A LOT of cookies! (The picture above is after a family of 7 all had their fair share!) I suggest making half a batch; you’ll end up with about 24 cookies.. enjoy! 🙂
