Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chip Cookies ( Levain Bakery knockoff recipe)

It was a cookie making kind of day today and I thought I would share them with you!
There are alot of Levain Bakery copycat recipes in blogland ..My neighbor Jamie ,gave me this recipe a few years ago and I make them all the time .. and yes ,there is yeast in a cookie recipe .. These are Double chocolate with peanut butter chips. They are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !

Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter (not softened)
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup dark Dutch process cocoa powder
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 tsp. yeast
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 cups peanut butter chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Using a stand or hand mixer, cream butter and sugar...add eggs..then add in cocoa powder.
Mix in flour , salt and yeast . Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips ..Don't overmix.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a ice cream scoop , scoop the cookies onto the baking sheets. This makes about 20 cookies. They take about 16-18 minutes to bake..They should look a little oozy on top. Make sure you have lots of cold milk on hand...

Hershey bar cake

Hope you are in the mood for baking a cake :) Last night we had a big lasagna dinner, all the kids were here including the college boy.. My daughter made for dessert one of our family favorites, this candy bar cake. It is so good ! To make the cake you just need a box chocolate cake mix, we used devils food and bake it in 2 or 3 round cake pans. We used 2. Let the cake totally cool after baking , and make this frosting.

8 oz pkg cream cheese softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

10 (1.5 oz) candy bars

(we use Hershey chocolate bars)

12 oz container of cool whip ,thawed

Beat cream cheese and both sugars until creamy with electric mixer. Chop 8 of the candy bars and add them and the cream cheese mixture to the cool whip . Use the frosting in the middle of the 2 or 3 layers and all over the sides and top. Chop the last 2 candy bars and add to the top. Make sure to store in the refrigerator.

In the remodel progress the crown molding and the baseboards got installed. They still have to put the trim on the windows . We have to putty all the nail holes and caulk , then paint all the trim. We did get a huge surprise last night though, when one of the carpentry guys asked why we have carpet covering our oak hardwood staircase .. We had no idea the stairs are oak under the carpet , and we planned on putting hardwood stairs in later this summer ! So hopefully soon we will get to rip the nasty carpet off the stairs !
Have a great weekend ! Thank you for stopping by and your nice comments !
