Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

6/7/2020

Beach trips are the BEST. When we booked our girls beach trip last January, we never imagined that we'd be in the midst of a global pandemic or that I would be on walking restriction. We could never have predicted that we'd be packing masks, hand sanitizer, wipes, crutches and a scooter along with our swim suits, suncreeen and towels. Our trip may not have turned out exactly like we had planned but the current circumstances, made me even more grateful for a weekend at the beach with some of my favorite women.

There was no shortage of junk food on our "girls only" beach vacation. Which is exactly how it should be. 😅The only problem is, when I got home from vacation, I still wanted to snack on sugar all day. I'm slowly trying to wean myself off the sugar addiction so it only makes sense that I'd make a batch of peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love a chewy chocolate chip cookie and I love soft peanut butter cookies so why not combine the two? A soft, chewy cookie packed with peanut butter and loaded with chocolate chips might just be the most perfect cookie, I've ever made.

The real question is: Are these peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips? OR are they chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter? Either way, we can all agree that they're delicious.
