MORNING CALL'S #3 WINNING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE

I haven't tested these, but they sound really good, and different.

Diane Toomey's Chocolate Chip Graham Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips

For the top: 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter

For the garnish: 3 Tbsp. crushed peanut butter chips

Heat oven to 350F. In large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. In medium bowl, combine flour, graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon. Slowly blend dry mixture into butter mixture until completely blended. Stir in 1 cup milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup peanut butter chips. Roll dough into 1-1/2" balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten balls to about 1/2" thick. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes, or till lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a small microwaveable bowl, microwave 2/3 cup milk chocolate chips and peanut butter on high for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Spread about 1 tsp. of mixture in center of cooled cookie. If desired, sprinkle crushed peanut butter chips on top of melted chocolate mixture. Makes about 3 dozen.
