Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are soft peanut butter cookies studded with milk chocolate chips. This homemade peanut butter cookies recipe is packed with peanut butter flavor!
Tis the season for me to start pumping out some killer holiday cookie recipes. Of course I'll be starting with a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, because peanut butter is my life. These cookies are soft and thick. They're packed with peanut butter flavor, thank goodness. There's nothing worse than a peanut butter cookie that you can't taste the peanut butter in. That's like torture to me.
Another ingredient that is important for any dessert is the vanilla. My go-to vanilla bean paste and extract is from Rodelle. They're both equally amazing which is why I'm happily an ambassador for them. Seriously. You need to get your hands on the vanilla bean paste. You can grab it on Amazon at any time.
I love Christmas time. I can make any kind of cookie I want and it's still considered festive. Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are just as holiday-worthy as sugar cookies. I also have a house full of cookie monsters, making it even more exciting to pump out a bunch of Christmas cookie recipes. I can't even begin to explain the joy I get from people enjoying my recipes. It's very pleasing.
Do you know what else is pleasing? Blaring Christmas music and attempting to sing along. As Wesley has told me thousands of times, I'm tone-deaf. I also can't remember the lyrics to an entire song to save my life. I just make up the words that sort of go with the song and keep on chugging. Wesley just shakes his head and laughs at me. He expects this sort of behavior out of me. hehe
I just posted a photo in my VIP facebook group of my basket of chocolate chips. It seems that I have quite the problem. Can you guess what chips I had the most of? Milk chocolate. I absolutely love milk chocolate chips. I'm okay with semi-sweet, but they just aren't nearly as satisfying for me. However, I always say you can interchange the two in pretty much all of my recipes. It's all preference.
