Comments
Makes approximately 2½ dozen cookies.What kind of peanut butter should you use? I prefer salty and crunchy for my cookies, but it is really personal choice.
An all-time favorite cookie with a crisp peanut butter infused exterior and a soft and chewy interior loaded with just the right amount of chocolate chips.
