I made these delicious cookies after a bogo sale on Reese's peanutbutter chips. They are a basic chocolate chip recipe using Reese's chips instead of chocolate and with melted chocolate on top. Not hard to make, but a little time consuming. Well worth it though for a rich treat, but I'd advise you not to eat too many unless you want to put on a few pounds. Thank goodness my gym is open again!
Tiger Cookies:
2.5 cups flour
1.5 cups sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp salt
1 tbs baking powder
2 eggs
milk (or creme)
1 bag Reese's peanut butter chips
1 bad chocolate chips
--this recipe is from memory and might be slightly off. adjust as you see fit--
Preheat oven to 350C
Beat eggs, sugar and butter until well mixed and the mix starts to stiffen. Slowly add the flour until thoroughly mixed. Add the salt and baking power. Fold in most of the bag of Reese's, setting aside a small handful of chips for decoration later.
Spoon out about a 1" balls spaced 1"~1.5" apart onto a greased or nonstick cookie sheet. Bake for ~12 mins at 350C until the tops are just barely golden brown. Set cookies aside to cool and harden slightly.
While baking you can start melting the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Stir in a few tbs of milk to thin the chocolate. When cookies are sufficiently hard, dip the tops and sides in the chocolate and set aside to harden. When all the cookies have been dipped, you can go back and double dip or cover up and unfilled spots with any remaining chocolate.
While letting the chocolate set, clean out the double boiler and start to melt the Reese's chips set aside earlier, again with a small amount of milk. To make the stripes, I dipped a fork into the melted Reese's and dabbed the mixture along the hardened chocolate in a line. You can be as creative here as you want.
Again let the stripes harden and serve.
