Irresponsibly Large Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don't make these often. Because they're terrible. And by terrible I mean wonderful. So wonderful that I eat them. Too many of them. And they're really big, so even just 2 of them is too many! But they are delicious & definitely worthy of special occasion baking! I made these back on the 4th of July to take to the fireworks (with my caramel corn!) and again this past week to take camping with us. **Funny story** - we only got to eat about half of them. A bear climbed into our Suburban and ate the rest. *sigh* It was probably for the best.

Here's today's line up:

Peanut butter, butter, white sugar, brown sugar, light Karo, butter, eggs, flour, baking soda, salt, vanilla, water (not pictured) & mini chocolate chips. Yes, another recipe with the mini chips. They are supreme.

Now mix up your butters & your sugars until smooth.


Then beat in the eggs, one at a time.


Then add in your karo, water & vanilla.

Now combine the flour, salt & soda in a separate bowl & then add it to the creamed mixture.

Now fold in your chocolate chips.

Ready for the Irresponsible part? Put away your teaspoons and tablespoons & get out your measuring cups. Specifically the 1/4 cup one. Drop this batter by the 1/4 cup-full. You read that right. 1/4 cup, Baby!!

Pop them into a 375 oven for 12-15 minutes.


OK. Brace yourself... here they come.

**Drumroll**
