• Cut in the butter and peanut butter. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, milk, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients with the chocolate chips and stir gently till barely combined.
• Pat the dough together in the bowl, then dump out onto a floured counter.
• Pat the dough into an 8" circle. Cut into 8 wedges, and place 1" apart on silpat lined or lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 400° for about 12 minutes or till golden brown.
• For glaze: Whisk together ingredients and add enough milk to make a thin icing. Place in a ziplock bag and snip the corner. Squeeze the glaze on top of the warm scones.

EPIC PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade and pulse to combine.
• Add the pieces of cold butter and pulse about 25-30 times to get the butter really incorporated in small bits. The mixture will be sandy.
• Measure out the heavy cream in a glass measuring cup and then pour in the peanut butter to make 1 cup.
• Add the wet ingredients to the processor and pulse/process just until the dough comes together in a lump or lumps.
• Turn out into a bowl and fold in the chocolate chips, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a smooth 7-8 inch disk. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for an hour to an hour and a half.
• Preheat the oven to 400F
• Slice the chilled dough into 8 scones with a large, sharp knife, and place on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between scones. Bake for about 15 minutes until the scones are firm and baked through. Look closely at the cracks in the top of the scone, if they look wet inside, bake a little longer. Don't over bake. Note: you can place the scones closer together in a ring shape if you like the sides to cook into each other, pull-apart style...this makes a softer scone.
• Let cool on a rack for a bit before devouring.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES FROM HEAVEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Cream together butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs, peanut butter and vanilla.
• Add flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Roll into balls about 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls (or use cookie scoop) and place onto ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly because they do not flatten much while cooking.
• Bake for 10 minutes.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Have ready at least 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Cream butter until smooth.
• Add peanut butter and both sugars and beat until combined well.
• Add egg and beat well.
• Stir in flour and baking soda gradually until well combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
• Using a meatball scooper or a spoon, scoop out small portions of dough and drop onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 2" gap between each cookie.
• Bake for about 15 minutes or until cookies are just firm around the edges- don't overbake- if you wait until they are brown on top, they will be too hard.
• Slide parchment sheet, cookies and all, carefully off pan and onto your counter, set a new piece of parchment paper onto your baking sheet and repeat until all dough is baked.
• Meanwhile, as the next batch bakes, remove baked cookies from the parchment and let cool completely on wire racks.
• Wipe off the crumbs from the old sheet of parchment and you can reuse it for your next batch.
• These will keep about 3 days stored in a cookie tin (for crisp cookies) or an airtight plastic container (for softer cookies).

CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONES WITH PEANUT BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• for the chocolate chip scones:
• Preheat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in chocolate chips. Make a well in the center and add buttermilk, vanilla and egg. Stir just until combined, taking care to not overmix.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead 5 or 6 times. Pat into an 8'' circle and cut into 8 wedges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, about 1-1/2'' apart. Brush each wedge of dough lightly with milk. Then bake until scones are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
• for the peanut butter glaze:
• After removing the scones from the oven, prepare the glaze. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth. When the scones are mostly cooled (they can be slightly warm yet), drizzle the peanut butter glaze over the scones. I put this in the microwave for 30 seconds 2 or 3 times to help it smooth out nicely.
• I believe scones are always best the day they are baked. But this recipe does allow for some advance prep. The unbaked dough freezes really well, enabling you to store the unbaked scones in your freezer and bake them up fresh when desired. Just cut the dough into wedges, place them on a tray in the freezer for an hour and then transfer the frozen wedges to a plastic freezer bag. On the day you want to bake them, take them directly from freezer to baking sheet lined with parchment paper (do not thaw first) and brush with milk. You will need to bake the frozen dough a bit longer, adding about 4 or 5 minutes onto the regular baking time.
