Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips!


I LOVE cookies but peanut butter have never been my favorite variety. Mostly because I like cookies that are cooked on the outside and still soft and chewy in the middle. Usually peanut butter cookies are flat, until now. I have finally mastered the peanut butter cookie. As usual I added chocolate because, lets face it, everything is better with a little chocolate. So if you are in the mood for some easy, yummy peanut butter cookies give these a try. The trick it using honey roasted and plain peanut butter. I like the natural kind that you mash your self at the store. Also, for the cookies to keep their shape while baking and not turn into flat biscuits chill the dough in the fridge for a few hours of overnight before baking.

Ingredients:
2 sticks butter, room temp
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c honey roasted peanut butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Mix butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until smooth
- Stir in peanut butter a little at a time and combine until smooth
- Slowly mix in flour
- Add chocolate chips
- Chill dough in the fridge for several hours or overnight
- Shape into balls about the size of gulf balls
- Bake for about 12min
- Enjoy!

This Week's Moment

{this moment} - "A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see." Inspired by SouleMama.
