DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
My nieces and nephews call me Aunt Cookie. It’s a name that I’ve earned and that I’m obligated to uphold. In order to uphold my name I feel responsible to have cookies readily available at all times. It’s a hard job. 
Man these cookies are dangerous. Double chocolate cookies with a smidge of peanut butter. 
They’re best right out of the oven. Warm, gooey, chocolate deliciousness.

PRO TIP:To make the cookies look like bakery style cookies I always save a few chocolate chips for the top after baking. Right after the cookies come out of the oven press in a few chocolate chips on top of the cookies.

I had a craving and searched for Chocolate chip almond butter cookies and this recipe popped up. These cookies are soooooo good. I used almond extract instead of vanilla and based on a previous reviewer’s suggestion only used 1 cup of the sugar. WOW! This is just an amazing recipe. I even came out with the same number of cookies . Perfection. Thank you!
So glad you liked them!
Wow. Perfect. The Best combo of peanut butter and chocolate. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
The time for these cookies says 22hrs.
Sorry, there was a bug in my recipe plugin.
I made this and it was really awesome! 😀 I am going to make this again but probably lessen the sugar ^^
I absolutimously Love these cookies….. Made them…. Thanks a lot!!
Just made these and they are heavenly, thank you sooooo much for sharing the recipe!
Just made these cookies and they are SO good, my housemates have already eaten half of them in the past hour 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! I just made these tonight for a potluck that I am going to tomorrow. I appreciate that they have PB in them, but aren’t dry. They are in fact very moist. Chocolate + PB is a great combo! They were easy to make and cooked quickly. I actually cut back on the sugar by a half cup and feel like they turned out great.
r0LYzi I truly appreciate this blog post. Much obliged.
instead of using 1.5 cups of regular chocolate chips, i used half semi-sweet & half white + sprinkled powdered sugar on top. most decadent thing i’ve ever eaten; thank you so much.
I made these cookies a little while ago, and I just wanted to let you know that they were really great – all of my coworkers loved them too! If you’re interested in checking it out, I referenced your recipe in my blog:
