How to Make Pete's Peanut Choco-Delight Cookies

- Be patient with this step to achieve an even mix.
Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract slowly until creamy.
Mix eggs one at a time and allow mix to absorb them.
SLOWLY (about 1/2 cup at a time, sprinkling over mixing bowl) add flour/cocoa mixture and allow mixer to beat well.
Once creamy, STIR in nuts and morsels alternating about 2 TBSP at a time to allow even distribution. - Preheat oven to 375 F
- Drop cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheet, about one rounded tablespoon per cookie.
- Bake 8-9 minutes for chewy texture, 11-12 minutes for harder texture. Cool on baking sheet 3-4 minutes, then completely cool on wire racks.
- Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Enjoy!
