This is the first time I am adding peanut butter to a cookie recipe and I have to admit I really love it. Peanut butter gives a great texture and taste to the basic chocolate cookies. I was afraid that the peanut butter flavor would be too strong but seemed to be just the right amount. You can feel the flavor but it’s not overwhelming and combines so well with chocolate.
I’ve taken these peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies to my daughter’s kinder garden Christmas celebration and everybody enjoyed them. They were all done by the end of the evening.
I will definitely repeat this recipe for Christmas. One of the best cookies ever and a perfect, homemade gift idea as well.
