Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 C. butter (1 stick), softened to room temperature

1-1/2 C. smooth peanut butter

1 C. packed brown sugar

1/2 C. white sugar

2 eggs

2 T. light corn syrup

4 T. water

1 T. vanilla extract

2 1/2 C. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

2 C. (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).  In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the corn syrup, water, and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Chill dough for 15 minutes in the refrigerator (this will prevent spreading during cooking), then drop by large spoonfuls (about 1-1/2 T. each) 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden (they will seem super soft). Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
