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 this easy recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, and they turned out better than I imagined. These tasty cookies were crisp on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside, and I really loved the balance of salty and sweet.

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.
