If you can’t decide whether you’re in a peanut butter or chocolate chip cookie mood, just combine them and call it a day. You probably have everything in the pantry already, so let’s whip up some Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!
I can’t believe when I go to the store I can’t find a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. Chocolate and peanut butter is the greatest combination in all the land! If you find yourself in the same predicament, fear not. This recipe is super easy and made in one bowl. Most of my cookies are. Once the butter, sugar, etc is all combined I just add all the dry on top and fluff it around a bit then turn the stand mixer on. This process has never steered me wrong and cuts down on clean up. Win!
I made these cookies on my birthday when I was fogged in and working at home. I found myself home alone with the dogs for most of the day while the kids were at school so I whipped these up as a pre swim lesson snack. There is nothing quite like coming home from a long day at school to homemade baking!
