I really love Peanut butter. Whether it be in a smoothie, swirled through ice cream or even as an addition to cookies!! These Peanut Butter Choc Chip Cookies put a twist on the average chocolate chip cookie, adding a whole new dimension of crunchy, nutty goodness.
These Peanut butter choc chip cookies are so delicious, they are one of the favourites in our house. I usually put choc chips into this, but you could use raisins or omit completely and just have peanut butter cookies! If you are looking for a peanut butter substitute view this post here.
And of course, these are freezer friendly too so you can have them on hand for after-school snacks for the kids, or bake them in bulk and gift them to a new Mum or friend who is unwell.
