Have you ever tasted a cookie so delicious it’s outrageous? This recipe certainly fits the bill. It came my way courtesy of a friend’s aunt who’s been baking for over 50 years. Full of decadent ingredients like chocolate chips, peanut butter, and two kinds of sugar, they’re not health food, but would make a terrific holiday or special occasion treat.

To make Outrageous Cookies, you will need:

*  1 Cup butter, softened
*  1/3 Cup peanut butter
*  3/4 Cup brown sugar
*  3/4 cup granulated sugar
*  2 Large eggs
*  1 Tsp. vanilla
*  2 1/2 Cups flour
*  1 Tsp. baking soda
*  1/2 Tsp. salt
*  Package of chocolate chips, 12 oz.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the first six ingredients. Mix together the next three ingredients, then add to the creamed ingredients. Fully combine and stir in the chocolate chips. Roll into balls (1 1/2-in or so). Place on greased cookie sheets and bake for approximately 10 minutes.

Outrageous Cookies can be frozen if you have leftovers, and I find they make insanely good bases for homemade ice cream sandwiches.
