  Michelle’s Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

  Ingredients:

  2 cups unbleached flour
  2 tsps baking powder
  1/2 tsp.salt
  1 tsp cinnamon
  1/3 bag mini chocolate chips
  1/3 bag peanut butter chips
  1 cup raw sugar
  1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
  1 teaspoon vanilla
  1/4 cup water

  Directions:

  Preheat oven to 350 and put in baking sheets.

  In a large bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon. Add chips. Make a well in the center and set aside.

  In a medium size bowl mix sugar and oil. Add the vanilla and then add the water. Mix it well.

  Add the wet to the well in the dry. Mix it well but be careful not to overwork it.

  Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets and gently flatten with a glass. Put them in the oven.

  Bake for 10-12 minutes (you may need to check the bottoms to make sure they are not too brown.)

  The cookies are done when they seem a little bit softer then you want them to be. They will harden up some as they cool.

  Let them sit on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to the racks.
