The peanut butter and chocolate flavor combination is absolutely divine. The peanut butter is not overwhelming but it does bring its unique taste to these delicious cookies. They can be quite addictive so make sure to share them with your loved ones if you don’t want to end eating them all by yourself. 🙂
The recipe is very easy to prepare and it’s perfect for holidays.
