Peanut Butter Chip Brownie Cookies

- Serves depends on cookie si
This is a riff on a cookie recipe from a book called The Skinnygirl Dish. Just made them for a friend's birthday and they were a hit. I know that not everyone wants to use (or just spend the $$ for) raw sugar and/or whole wheat flour. Read more I haven't tried these with white sugar or flour, but I'm quite sure they will be just as wonderful. The whole wheat flour really adds a nutty, more dimensional flavor to the cookie though. I had to sub that for oat flour, which was called for in the original recipe, since my store doesn't carry oat flour. See less
Ingredients

- 1 & ½ cups raw sugar shopping list

How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, banana, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
- Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well blended.
- If the mixture is too dry and not holding together, add the canola oil, I went in 1/2 tablespoon increments, stirring after each addition, until the texture was right.
- Stir in the peanut butter chips and pecans (or whatever you've chosen to use).
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until set.
- Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to complete cooling.
