Try baking these chocolate chip peanut butter cookies during your isolation! If you’ve looked at our cookie archive, you can see that I love cookies with chocolate. I also love peanut butter (like most North Americans), but I’m not a fan of those plain peanut butter cookies. You know, the ones with the fork tine imprints. They are often too dry and crumbly for me.
These chocolate chip peanut butter cookies are soft and chewy, and nicely studded with chocolate chips. I like to use crunchy peanut butter because the bits of peanut add great texture to the cookies. However, if all you’ve got is creamy peanut butter, that’ll work fine as well.
Most North Americans like the combination of peanuts and chocolate. Whether it’s chocolate-covered peanuts, peanut butter cups, or chocolate-swirled peanut butter, there are a lot of options! Not everyone likes this flavour combination though. In university I had an Australian friend who thought it was gross and weird! She liked a chocolate bar called Cherry Ripe, which I in turn thought was gross.

I am trying to cut back on sweets, to which I am truthfully addicted. This recipe looks interesting, especially the combination of crunchy peanut butter, lower temp and longer cooking time. Sharing on my Facebook page.
