• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt *see note

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. In a small bowl mix flour, salt, baking soda
3. Cream butter and white/brown sugar

Notes:

• Depending on the type of peanut butter you may not need salt.  I used a creamy natural that had salt added already so I omitted it.  
• You may want to bake only a couple at first so you can adjust the bake time is needed.

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Ingredients/prep:

• Cake mix
• Ice cream cones see note for waffle cones
• Frosting homemade or store
• Muffin Tin
• Optional: sprinkles, piping bag, #2110(1M) tip

Steps:

• For wafer cones make a ring around cupcake to help secure them  
• Prepare cake batter as directed
• Fill one cone about 3/4 the way full and bake for 20 minutes. (it is easier doing it this way so you can make the appropriate adjustments for the rest. Also you don't want them to overflow, it causes one big mess.)
• Once they are done let them cool and decorate as you wish.

Notes:

• When you bake either the waffel of wafer coins they loss some of their crunch.  For the wafer cones it really int that bad.  However for the waffel cones I would recommend serving these as soon as possible.  
• For the waffel cones I just made my own baking pan for them.  To do this I bought a foil roasting pan.  Just about any kind will do, I just got what was on sale and big enough for the cones.  Then I poked holes in it big enough to hold the coins straight up.  If the holes end up to big you can put foil in them.
