Bunny's Rockport Cookies

Our friend Bunny Adamson brought both of these cookies for a weekend visit to the Rockport house. We couldn't decide which we liked best, so here are both of them!

PB and Chocolate Pan Cookies (Can be mixed with a spoon)

 
3/4  C chunky peanut butter
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 C firmly packed light brown sugar
2 C all-purpose baking mix
1 (12 oz) pkg dark chocolte morsels, divided
 
Stir together peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla in large bowl.
Stir in brown sugar until combined.  Add baking mix and 3/4 C chocolate morsels, stirring just until moistened.  Spread mixture in a lightly greased 15 x 10 in. jelly-roll pan.
Bake at 32 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 1/4 C dark chocolate morsels; let stand 5 min. or until choc. melts.  Spread melted chocolate evenly over top.  Cut into triangles, bars, or squares.
