Peanut Butter-Chocolate Cookies

This post is also available in / Esta entrada también está disponible en ESPAÑOL (SPANISH)

For a long time, I was allergic to nuts- all types of nuts.  Because of that, I’ve never had the slightest curiosity for Peanut Butter or Peanut Butter Cookies. Since I have a peanut butter cookie lover at home, I asked friends around for their favorite recipes, and this one is the sum of many many that I got handed down… and my mom loved it! This one is great for freezing and making ahead. It’s best to get the peanut butter filled candy than the chocolate covered peanuts, they are easier to bite!
