Peanut butter and chocolate is simply one of my top favorite combos in the kitchen. I love how the saltiness of the peanut butter combines with the sweetness of the chocolate.
These recipe takes the traditional chocolate chip cookies up a notch with added peanut butter into the dough. These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are so fragrant, crispy and delicious, and you won’t be able to resist it!
