And I do know many pricey readers share that love! These no-bake peanut butter bars are a fast and simple year-round favourite, and this towering chocolate peanut butter cake is a well-liked showstopper.

So when it got here to creating a top-notch peanut butter and chocolate cookie mixture, I turned to 2 of my best possible recipes: tender and thick peanut butter cookies and double chocolate chip cookies. And when mixed, they’re completely epic.

I’ve been making these cookies for years, and I haven’t modified the recipe in any respect. You simply don’t mess with perfection. 😉

It doesn’t get a lot better than this:

At the moment’s 2-for-1 combo cookies have been a favourite since day 1. At any time when I serve them, tasters flock to the cookie tray. Right here’s why:

For those who’ve been visiting my web site over time, chances are high you’ve tried each cookie doughs earlier than; I take advantage of them everywhere in the web site. For those who haven’t had an opportunity to attempt them, let me make a fast introduction.

For each cookie doughs, you want the same old lineup of cookie components. Pay particular consideration, although, to those 2:

2. Unsweetened Pure Cocoa Powder: Do you know that not all cocoa powders work the identical in baking recipes? And most of it depends upon the leavening brokers. For those who’re within the science behind it, I am going into loads of element in my submit on the distinction between Dutch-process and pure cocoa powder. Since you’re utilizing baking soda within the chocolate cookie dough, attain for unsweetened pure cocoa powder. For those who’re in search of methods to make use of up a jar of Dutch-process cocoa, attempt my chocolate buttercream or these selfmade brownies (there’s no leavening in both).
