LeeLee's Likes.........Chippy Peanut Butter Cookies

     Today we had a fun activity in our neighborhood.  We have a cookie social during the warm weather months whenever a month has a fifth Sunday.  We were supposed to get together two weeks ago because March had a fifth Sunday this year.  Being that March in Utah came in like a lion it would make sense that it would go out like a lamb.  However, in Utah you cannot determine the weather by cliches.  March went out like a lion also.  It snowed and snowed and snowed the last Sunday in March so the only thing that went out was the cookie social.
     Today I made Chippy Peanut Butter Cookies for the social.  They are tasty!
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tsps. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup peanut butter chips and 1 cup milk chocolate chips
     In a large bowl, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars.
     Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in vanilla.  Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.  Stir in chips.
     Drop by rounded tablespoons full onto ungreased baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until barely browned around edges.  Makes 4 dozen
     I started making these cookies several years ago.  The recipe came from The Taste of Home magazine.  The original recipe called for a package of swirled milk chocolate and peanut butter chips.  I believe Nestles quit making these a couple of years ago.  I haven't been able to find them anymore but mixing the two different chips works dandy.
