The Softest Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
I have a sweet spot for a soft, decadent cookie. Peanut Butter Cookies are one of my favorite kinds of cookies and have been for a long time. They still are, but these chocolate and peanut butter cookies are on another level. The cocoa pairs perfectly with the peanut butter, and this recipe makes them melt in your mouth. You have to try them to believe it.
Chewy cookies have always been my preferred texture – until I tried these. You can alter the recipe slightly to make them chewy, but I love how fluffy these are. My kids can tell you that they agree. Whenever I make these chocolate peanut butter cookies, they don’t last long.
