I’ll keep this simple: If you love peanut butter – and you love chocolate – you’ll love these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. They are the perfect combination of chewy, tender and sweet. And because they’re made with 100 percent whole wheat flour, they’re kind of healthy. For me, they’re the perfect breakfast cookie with coffee, but they also are perfect as a midnight (or anytime) snack.
There. That’s all folks.
Enjoy!

See, this is what I’m talking about!! Mmmmm…now I just have to buy all of the stuff and bake em! 🙂
I’m just baking the fourth dozen now. The first dozen disappeared immediately to the neighborhood kids and of course my husband I sampled them too! These cookies are great and the baking time of 10 minutes is just perfect for my taste because I prefer a soft baked cookie every time. I used crunchy Jif for the peanut butter just because I needed to use it up and they are yummy!
Four dozen! It’s great to hear that you’re loving them. I’m totally addicted to these! 🙂
