2 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 egg
1 ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and peanut butter with the sugars and espresso powder until smooth and somewhat lightened.
Add the vanilla, vinegar and egg, mixing enough just to incorporate, then mix in the dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Using a small ice cream scoop, drop the batter onto baking pans and bake until golden brown, about 12 – 14 minutes.
Cool for a few minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Yields about 2 - 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
