Soft Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunkers
You really can’t go wrong with the combination of chocolate and peanut butter! These cookies are soft pillow-like peanut butter cookies that are chock full of melty chocolate chips. And they’re absolutely delicious. The cookie just melts in your mouth and stays unbelievably soft after baking. I expected to like these when I made them, but I was surprised at just how much I loved them. I took them in to work for birthday treats and they disappeared much more quickly than I was prepared for. Thankfully I had saved one in my lunchbox or I wouldn’t have gotten any! If you’re a fan of peanut butter and chocolate together, I definitely recommend trying these soft peanut butter chocolate chunkers – you’ll love them. 🙂
