Soft Bake Peanut Butter Cookies with Mini Chocolate Chips
Peanut Butter Cookies are so hard for me to resist and I love to keep experimenting, to come up with the perfect recipe. I am calling these Soft Baked Peanut Butter Cookies because they remind me of those Keebler Soft Baked Cookies from my childhood. I don’t even know if they still make those or not. It is a rare occasion that I buy cookies, well except OREO’s.
I judge the cookie recipes by how long they last in the cookie jar and let me tell you these didn’t make it past the second day! They are loaded with mini chocolate chips and the chocolate and peanut butter combination makes them my new favorite cookie!
I bake cookies almost daily during the summer when the boys are home from school. My KitchenAid Mixer, my BeaterBlade, my well used OXO Cookie Scoop (you can see one of the outer handle pieces is missing!) and my Silpat baking mats make it all so easy.
So next time you have a craving for cookies, throw these Soft Bake Peanut Butter Cookies together and grab a glass of milk or chocolate milk if you are like my little guy, and you will have a little slice of peanut butter and chocolate bliss!
