These may very well be the most amazing cookie of all time. Or at least the winner of the “chocolate/chip” category. I’m still a die hard Molasses Spice fan, I must admit. But that’s a completely different genre of cookie.
Kevin and I had had an argument. I wanted to bake. It was my way of venting. I didn’t know which recipe to try though. I knew it needed chocolate. I’ve been on a huge chocolate craving streak. But I went through my whole “sweets” recipe box and came up empty. Then I saw the bag of Peanut Butter Chips I had bought at Aldi. During the Special Christmas Season. I didn’t have a purpose for them at the time, but knew they would come in handy eventually. Especially seeing as how I’m a peanut butter fiend. On the back of the bag was a recipe. Sounded good enough for me. I adapted a few ingredients–namely the butter/marg/shortening–and these things are amazing.
They’re rich.
They’re perfectly chocolately.
Perfectly peanut buttery.
Perfect.
