Hi all, we’re back from a short hiatus and feels great to be in the kitchen cooking again! While on my break, I took a short trip to Lexington, Kentucky to celebrate two great friends getting married. While there, I met some great people, and ate some delicious food. But what’s that saying? It’s great to go on vacation, and it’s great to come home. So while getting back into my everyday rhythm, and with pregnancy cravings in full effect, is it to much to ask for home cooked Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies.
Good thing I am a competent baker, because boy we’re these exactly what me and the baby needed. A craving is a craving, and it’s alright to splurge every once in awhile.
So I knew I wanted cookies, and chocolate chip is usually my go to, but lately peanut butter has been on the brain. So I just threw both chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips in together, resulting in Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. Yeah I know, genius.
So, as you can see below, this recipe yields 5 dozen cookies. No one or even 4 persons can finish that many cookies in one sitting. And no that is not a challenge. It’s common knowledge you can freeze cookie dough up to 2 months, and that’s exactly what I did. So the next time I get a craving, I just need to defrost the dough and stick them in the oven. You can do that, or cut the recipe in half, totally up to you.
We hope you enjoy this recipe, and feel free to reach out with any questions you have. Up next on the blog we have an alcoholic beverage that I did not make or try for obvious reasons, but my partner Sammy did and swears it’s one for the books. Stay tuned as that delicious recipe is coming to the blog on Friday.
