Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

When it comes to combining two iconic cookie recipes like chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies there are really two approached: throw some chocolate chips into your favorite peanut butter cookie batter OR add peanut butter to adapt a solid chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Which way is best? I opted for option 2 and I think you’ll agree the results are amazing!

These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies have the same buttery sweetness of your favorite chocolate chip cookies but add a hefty dose of peanut butter goodness. They are soft, chewy, and will have you devouring the whole plate in one sitting if you’re not careful!
