Chocolate Peanut Butter Ginseng Cookie Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup Wisconsin ginseng powder

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Cream the Butter and Sugars:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, Wisconsin ginseng powder, and cocoa powder.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts:

Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.

Shape the Dough:

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake:

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should be chewy.

Cool:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy:

Serve with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage and enjoy the unique combination of chocolate and Wisconsin ginseng!

These cookies are perfect for a unique treat that combines the familiar comfort of chocolate cookies with the health benefits and distinctive flavor of Wisconsin ginseng.
