Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

On our last trip to Bulk Barn, I was checking out the baking section. I love buying chocolate chips there because there are so many different varieties. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet, dark and bitter, white, mint, candy coated and then I found the most perfect kind – peanut butter chips!

I love peanut butter and chocolate, so when I saw them, I knew immediately that I had to make chocolate peanut butter chip cookies!

These cookies are delicious and chewy just like a brownie. They remind me of a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup candy bar. I had a couple cookies when they were warm from the oven, but I have to admit that they are much better the next day when the peanut butter chips are hard again and less “melty.”
