Peanuuuut, peanut butta AND CHOCOLATE! That’s how the song should go, my friends. I know peanut butter and jelly is the most famous combo and I totally get that. My younger, adolescent self would agree. I mean, PB&Js are the classic school lunch. But my grown-up, more mature and experienced self knows that chocolate and peanut better is WAY better. Wouldn’t you agree?
That’s why Reese’s peanut butter cups are heavenly. So of course, a chocolate cookie that blends chocolate chips with peanut butter that also happens to be stuffed with what? Peanut butter cups? You heard me. Of course it’s D freaking LICIOUS. And these yummy lovelies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. What more could you ask for in a cookie?
