3/4 c cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 c butter, softened
2 c sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in peanut butter chips. (Don't cheat with generic PB chips - it's not the same at all!) Drop by rounded tablespoons on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 9 minutes. (Cookies will puff up during baking and flatten while cooling; DO NOT overbake!!) Cool slightly and remove to wire rack.
**add a few extra Tbs flour to make them less flat.


Mine didn't turn out as chewy as I would've liked, so make sure you get to the oven fast... so they aren't in there longer than 8 minutes

Nutella Hot Fresh Croissants

Because I am in love with Nutella, I made these and they were so very good! My girls had them for breakfast and then for a snack they had them cold (straight from the fridge) and loved them both ways.
Roll out crescent dough triangles and put melted butter on them, 1 teaspoon of nutella and get ready to roll up.
Roll up crescent rolls
Nutella can be drizzling out
put them on parchment paper lined pan and top with beaten egg mixture
bake till golden brown- about 13 minutes, dust with powdered sugar.

warm gooey center YUM.

Homemade Nutella Croissants

Open a store-bought tube of crescent dough. Separate each of the triangles and lay them flat. Brush one side with melted butter. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of Nutella near the bottom (wide side) of the triangle. Roll the croissants from the wide side up to the tip of the triangle and bend to form a crescent shape. Using a clean pastry brush, brush lightly with a beaten egg mixture.

Place the croissants approximately 1" apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 15 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown. Remove from the oven, transfer to serving platter and dust with confectioner's sugar. These are best served warm.
