These Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies are just what I needed today. Soft and tender with that melt in your mouth texture, these peanut butter cookies are hard to resist. Though I’ve always enjoyed peanut butter cookies I’ve never really had serious cravings for them, well at least not until I made these.

You are going to love this really quick and easy recipe for Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cookies. The cookies are soft and chewy when fresh out of the oven but start to get slightly crispier on they outside as they sit on counter.  Soft and chewy is really my preference, so I always make sure to enjoy a couple while they are still warm and fresh out of the oven. You’ll want to make sure to let the cookies sit on the baking tray for 5 minutes so they can firm up, they’ll break if you try to remove them right away.

If you have time on your hands and are looking for a more decadent peanut butter cookie then you will want to take a look at these Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies.
