There are fewer sweet flavor combinations better than peanut butter and chocolate (chocolate and mint is also a good one). Now, when I went to make this recipe, I accidentally bought crunchy peanut butter.

Crunchy peanut butter

I tried this with crunchy peanut butter loved it.  You don’t really notice that there is crunchy peanut butter aside from some of the cookies had tiny chunks of peanuts on the top. I liked it and I liked it even more that I was saved from another trip to the store.

These really are easy peanut butter chocolate chip cookies because the dough needs no refrigeration . Recipes call for refrigerating the cookie dough before baking to solidify the solids in the dough. The chilled fat takes longer to melt and in turn prevents the cookies spreading too much. These cookies don’t spread, so no refrigeration necessary which equals getting to eat the cookies sooner!
