- 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.
