Chocolate Cookies with Peanut Butter Chips
We’ve been obsessed with making a great chocolate cookie and didn’t rest until we made them fantastic. After making about 5 dozen of these chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips, we finally nailed the texture that we were hoping for!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
What we were wanting to achieve was a great soft and slightly chewy cookie that wasn’t dense or too cakey. So many chocolate cookies we’ve tasted were dry and more cakey than cookie texture. These other cookies we tasted always were like a dense, flat and dry piece of cake. But after much research, testing, re-testing and tasting, our chocolate cookies are exactly how we like them and hope you like them just as much. They’re rich and full of chocolate flavor but not too sugary sweet. Our goal was to have a cookie with great flavor, without all the sugar. The texture is soft and slightly chewy with awesome bites of peanut butter chips. Even if you slightly over baked these cookies a bit to make them more firm, they’ll still be delicious. Make them for parties or your next gathering. Everyone will devour these chocolate cookies so quick that you’ll have to make a double batch. Everyone loves chocolate and peanut butter and so do we!

I modified the recipe just a little bit by leaving the batter in the fridge for a few hours before baking (I find that this helps significantly)
As per some of the other reviews it is lacking a bit of sweetness but other than that this recipe is fantastic. The cookies are deliciously soft with a great texture.
