Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies
I originally planned on making chocolate chip cookies with the bag of mini-chocolate chips which some I’ve used for Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins but I’ve decided in the end to make Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies instead. See, we have SO.MUCH peanut butter in the pantry thanks to the school’s free lunch program. In little packets and a container which came from cups that I’ve had to consolidate in one to save space. It’s peanut butter galore in the pantry. I really should make the Hazelnut brownies again soon, with peanut butter like Hubby suggested. So yes, these cookies are one recipe where I’ve used some of the peanut butter. Gotta think of more. HELP! Meanwhile, here are the cookies.
