Chocolate and peanut butter is a wonderful combination. I love how you swirl peanut butter into this chocolate cookie dough, leaving large streaks running through it!!! Grab a tall glass of cold milk and get baking!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips
- 1/4 cup peanut butter chips plus 1/4 cup chocolate chips for the tops
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Line two baking sheets with nonstick silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.

Beat butter in a mixer for about 3 minutes.

Chill dough for a few hours or they will spread too much. Using a small ice-cream scoop, make mounds of dough. Top each with some peanut butter and chocolate chips to pretty them up!!
