Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Does Christmas just mean cookie season to me, anyone else? (Aside from you know, Holiday cheer and time with loved ones and what not)
I feel like despite the pace of this year- the Navidades still managed to sneak up on me and leave me feeling like there is not nearly enough time to make all of the cookies that I want to. Maybe this means next year i’ll just start baking cookies in September?
One of my favorite Holiday cookies growing up has always been those peanut butter cookies with the chocolate kisses in the center. Wanting to get that same flavor profile, these little beauties came to be. They’re fluffy, tender, gooey, all the good stuff rolled into one cookie.
