Easy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Last week, I decided to make a batch of cookies for my hubby to bring to work. His coworkers love the goodies, I love trying out new recipe ideas, and I don’t have to be tempted to eat the sweets! It’s a win-win for all, right?!
Since I rarely make peanut butter cookies, I decided to use my favorite recipe, but add in some chocolate chips. You can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate in my opinion! After making the dough, it yielded 4 dozen cookies!! My kids got to enjoy some as their after-school snack, and I received thumbs up from them!! The next day, my hubby brought them to work, and everyone went crazy!! The tray was cleaned off in a matter of one to two hours!!
All in all, these cookies are flavorful, chewy, and simple to make!!

Tips for the ULTIMATE Cookies
* Avoid any “natural” peanut butters where the oil separates. The dough won’t come together nicely if you don’t use commercial peanut butter with an added oil.
*Never use dark colored pans to bake cookies, they tend to overly brown or even burn the bottoms of the cookies.
*To freeze: I like to scoop the dough balls out, freeze until solid, then remove them to a Ziplock bag to store in the freezer. You can defrost the dough overnight in the fridge, or for an hour or so at room temperature before baking.
*Be sure to measure flour correctly so you don’t end up with crumbly cookies.
