Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut butter and chocolate is one of the best flavor combinations. These peanut Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies come together very quickly and can be in your hands in 20 minutes. Don’t you love a cookie when it’s warm and fresh out of the oven?

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. As I was grabbing my wallet to zip back to the store, my husband suggested that I try the recipe with the crunchy.

I did and we loved it. In fact, we loved all the cookies, each and every one.  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.

Why do you have refrigerate cookie dough before baking?

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!

So what are you waiting for? You know you want to whip up a batch. But don’t forget the milk.
