Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Categories Dessert, Easy Recipes

These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are the perfect marriage between a chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter cookie! I’m not sure I need to describe them anymore that that, that should tell you that they are delicious! Ha! For peanut butter and chocolate lovers these will be love at first bite. They are chewy, peanut buttery, chocolaty and delicious!

These cookies cook up perfectly, the oil from the peanut butter and butter helps to give these the perfect golden hue and also gives it a gorgeous texture!

I like to use semi-sweet chocolate chips with this recipe because the slight bitterness helps to balance all of the flavors in the cookie. You can use milk chocolate chips too if you like a slightly sweeter cookie.
