Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I wanted to make a treat for our friends who were watching our kids while my husband and I went on a date. I know chocolate & peanut butter would make my girlfriend very happy so I decided to make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and they turned out better than I imagined. These tasty cookies were crisp on the outside and soft & gooey on the inside and I really loved the balance of salty & sweet.

  2. Your cookies are beautiful. I was browsing Tastespotting as usual and couldn’t help but to click on your picture! Very nice!

  3. Okay, I just finished cleaning up from a (double) batch of these. Please note: if you are home alone, don’t make these until properly supervised, they are far too addicting! Fabulous recipe, thank you, I will need to pass this one along.
