Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

So my dad gave me a giant jar of peanut butter thanks to bulk CostCo purchases lol! Well I thought the best use of all that peanut butter would be to bake some cookies of course!!! I had chocolate chips on hand so I decided to throw some of those in too! You can't really go wrong with a chocolate and peanut butter combo! I made the batch this past weekend and had a few friends meet up at my place before we headed over to a Rams game here in LA. The cookies were devoured! Check out the recipe below! Happy baking my loves!
