Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Everyday Food)

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
Best friends forever.

I made these simple Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chunk Cookies (from Everyday Food) last night for a peanut butter fix.

I enjoyed them a lot because they were, well, fluffy! You know how regular peanut butter cookies (with the criss-cross) are sometimes crispy? Well, these were little balls of baked peanut butter goodness. My co-workers and I ate them all on the first day...so I never know how things are "the second day."

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Simple ingredients: flour, baking soda, peanut butter (I used Skippy smooth), butter, dark brown sugar, regular sugar, eggs, vanilla and semi-sweet chocolate chunks (I used chocolate chips).

The recipe says it makes 36 cookies, but I made them small (with my cookie scoop) and got 71 cookies! Yes, 71 cookies of goodness! Here is the recipe from Martha Stewart's website!

    Peanut butter and chocolate are made for each other...especially in the cookie version. I think it's my favorite version of this combo!

    I just saw this cookie in my latest issue of Everyday Food! I wanted to try it because, like you mentioned, it looks fluffy and not flat like most peanut butter cookies! Gorgeous photos!

    These look so yummy! I love fluffy peanut butter cookies. Since I'm on a peanut butter fix (have been for a year now) I always have a jar in my cupboard. I'm going to make these soon.

    This is the perfect recipe for my house. I can leave the chocolate chips out of some so my hubs will eat them, and add chocolate to the rest for us normal people. I heart peanut butter + chocolate.

    Those are just the type of cookie that appeals to me fluffy chewy soft and NOT crunchy or hard.

    Great photos....I can usually pass up a cookie no problem but I'll be thinking about those cookies all day now!
