Peanut butter and chocolate. The two go hand-in-hand. If my peanut butter isn’t paired with jam, it is usually paired with chocolate. These cookies actually pack a triple peanut factor, since they have peanut butter, chopped peanuts, and peanut butter chips baked into them. The recipe for these chewy cookies comes from my mother-in-law. She baked these cookies using regular flour for my kids, and I converted it to gluten-free. I can’t tell you if they turned out just as good as hers, but they definitely didn’t last long here, as everyone enjoyed them.
