PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
This peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe represents one of my Mom’s most frequently requested treats. As an avid peanut butter cookie fan myself, I put in a request for a batch as often as I can get away with it. In fact, these cookies have shown up in one iteration or another throughout my entire life.
In elementary school, each student was permitted to bring in some kind of confection to share with the class on their birthday. Each year, much to the delight of my classmates, I would ask to have these peanut butter cookies with a Hershey kiss planted in the middle. Over the years, my tastes have changed, and so too has this chameleon of a cookie dough base. As time has gone by, these cookies have seen the inclusion of everything from toffee pieces to raisins and even rolled oats (one of my personal favorites). Whatever form these guys take, rest assured that with a recipe this solid, you really can’t go wrong adding in any of your favorites. These days my Mom likes to make them with chocolate chips and chopped peanuts — a classic combination that is top three all-time in my book.
