When your sweet tooth kicks in, there is nothing like a soft, chewy cookie to satisfy your desire. With the perfect combo of peanut butter and chocolate–these cookies have always been a favorite in my home. So easy to make and best eaten right out of the oven (after they cool down for a few minutes).
