Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I told you I have been on a cookie spree lately! The sad thing is I am only posting the ones I TOOK pictures of! There have been others that were devoured too quickly to photograph. Anyway, I came across these irresistible cookies at Annie's Eats. I altered the recipe a bit and added milk chocolate chips to go along with my craving. So I will post how I made them, they were to die for! They are SO chewy and soft! I cooked all of them and then froze little bags with about 6 cookies in each thinking that that would keep me from eating them all at once. It did spread out the eating fest for a couple of days... I know, I was shocked when I went to the freezer and there were NO cookies! My actual first thought was "Who took My cookies?!"

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup honey (yes, really ONE cup)
2 eggs
sugar, for rolling (I omitted this and added chocolate chips)
2 cups chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)

Preheat oven to 350. Cream together shortening, butter, peanut butter and honey.  Mix in eggs one at a time.  Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.  Add chocolate chips or roll into balls and roll in sugar.  Put balls on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until golden  brown on the edges.
