I’ve always enjoyed peanut butter, but I’ve never really had serious cravings for it, well at least not until this winter.  These Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies are just what I needed today. They are soft and chewy when fresh out of the oven but start to get crispier 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.

This is a really quick and easy recipe to make and the cookies are ready to eat as soon as they’re  cool enough to handle.  You will want to make sure you leave them on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after you remove them from the oven for them to firm up a bit as they are quite delicate when still hot.

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.
