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...

Daisy sugar cookies and homemade peanut butter cups

We had company from out of town, sister-in-law and brother -in-law, yesterday. It was also my oldest sons birthday this week,so we had a big dinner. My sister-in-law loves sugar cookies so I made the daisies for her.For the peanut butter cups , I melted chocolate chips, poured a spoonful in each mini muffin cup, that have the mini liners in them, topped that with a small chunk of the peanut butter mixture. Then one more spoon of chocolate on top. They are wonderful !

Peanut Butter Cup inside mixture

1-1/2 cups peanut butter

1/4 cup butter

2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all these ingredients in your mixer. I then make little discs out of the peanut butter mixture so when you are filling the mini muffin cups its easier. I also put about a tsp. of crisco solid shortening in with the chocolate chips when melting.When they are assembled let them dry..I then store mine in zip loc bags.We had a great dinner..birthday cake and these treats! Thanks for stopping by !
