These cookies are perfectly chocolatey and the peanut butter chips make it like a cookie version of a peanut butter cup. The recipe is adapted from a traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe, so they have that familiar texture and chewiness.

The cookies puff up and spread while baking, then flattens when cooling. Overbaking is to be avoided as you’ll end up with a dry, crunchy cookie. The cookies need to be slightly under baked when removed from the oven to ensure chewiness.

I love these cookies. Like, really really love them. There’s something so good about these cookies that I just can’t get enough. And for whatever reason, I crave them during this time of the year.
So this year, I thought it would be a great idea to share them with all of you. I mean…if I’m going to be able to enjoy them, I need to know that you all are going to as well, right?! Just try looking at these photos and not craving these cookies. I dare ya.
