Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Soft Batch Cookies

Why is it when fall rolls around I start thinking about cookies, and cakes, and cupcakes. . .well, all baked goods, really? Maybe it’s because the weather is cooling off enough to use the oven again or maybe it’s because I need to start preparing for my winter hibernation. My neighbors tell me I hibernate in winter and they don’t see me again until the spring. Truth? Truth. 

It’s about this time of year I start preparing the house for my hibernation. I’m on the look out for new candle scents, I’m putting my list together of all the little things that need to be done inside the home (AKA cleaning closets and organizing shelves) and I’m digging out my favorite comfort food cookbooks from the back of the bookshelf. And speaking of comfort food, today we’re talking cookies.

A few months ago I was looking for a delicious soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe, and I stumbled across this one from Pinch of Yum. I made a few modifications to her recipe to create these  delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Soft Batch Cookies. . .starting with these heavenly little morsels below.

Delightfulls from Toll House. They’re peanut butter FILLED chocolate chips. OMG. Yep, you heard me right.

I can’t really think of much in this world that tastes better than the combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

 
Put it all into a soft, chewy cookie and it’s pretty close to heaven on earth. My husband loves SOFT cookies. In fact, he was on a conference call when I brought one of these cookies down to his office with a glass of milk. He came upstairs to the kitchen about 30 minutes later asking me how I could do that to him. What?

“How could you give me only ONE of what I’m thinking are most delicious cookies in the world?” LOL What drama. 

Or maybe his point was a valid one? I mean you can almost taste that soft, chewy, chocolaty center, right?

The only cookies I normally dunk in milk are Oreos, but wanna’ know a secret? I dunk these. Wanna’ know another secret? I ate that entire stack right there.

I mean, I touched them all, so it was just the proper thing to do. I’ll certainly be making more batches of these beauties to freeze and add to my hibernation stash. If you haven’t begun preparing for the winter yet, I highly suggest you start. Per Country Living, the Farmer’s Almanac says Winter 2016 is expected to be extra brutal.

If we have lots of cookies in the freezer, we’ll push though it, friends. We’ll push through.
