It is so cold out today and foggy and drizzly.  I wanted to make a big pot of soup but I didn’t have the required ingredients so I made a batch of cookies instead.  These double chocolate peanut butter cookies hit the spot!!  They are soooo chocolatey and maybe even slighty fudgey and they have just the right amount of peanut butter to complement them.  They are soft, chewy and slightly gooey if not overbaked.  And soooo good!!

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

I haven’t made cookies for quite awhile.  Been on a muffin kick lately.  Probably because the kids really like them in their lunches.  Well I know they will appreciate something different.  They have been asking me all week for dessert in their lunches, I just don’t give it very often because they eat it first and don’t have enough time to finish their real food.  Kids I tell ya.  🙂

  1. Craving a bite of one of these chocolate and peanut butter cookies now… they look wickedly delicious. Here in Australia, I won’t be able to get my hands on Reese’s mini pieces but will definitely be substituting them for peanut butter m&m’s instead when I recreate the recipe. Yum!

    • Thank you for your comment! I have also made them with regular peanut butter chips too and they taste just as good. But the m&ms would be a lot more fun 🙂
