Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

This recipe comes to us from Betty Crocker. Originally it is a double chocolate chip recipe, that calls for only 1 c. of chocolate chips. However, our family prefers it with peanut butter chips.

1 pkg. Chocolate cake mix
½ c. butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
½ c. chopped nuts (optional)
1 c. peanut butter chips (actually I use the entire bag)

Preheat oven to 350º.

• Beat half the dry cake mix, the butter, vanilla, and eggs in large bowl on medium speed until smooth, or mix with spoon.
• Stir in remaining cake mix, the nuts and chocolate chips.
• Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are set (centers will be soft).
• Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

Yields about 5 dozen (Maybe if you really do teaspoonfuls, but we never have that many.)

Sorry for no picture this time around. We ate them all before I actually thought of it.
