Chocolate and peanut butter are such a delicious pairing. The first time I made these cookies, I left them on the counter and my kid snuck FOUR!

Luckily, I still had plenty to give to my neighbors to enjoy on their trek cross country. They called an hour after leaving and said they'd each had two already.

Mrs. Field's Cookie Book

The basic recipe for these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies comes from Mrs. Fields Cookie Book: 100 Recipes from the Kitchen of Mrs. Fields.

I've learned a few good cookie baking tips from this book that I have used often throughout the years.

• Instead of sifting, she whisks the dry ingredients together. An especially fun task for young sous-chefs.
• She bakes the cookies at a lower temperature, so they take longer, but I think the resulting texture is vastly improved.

Unfortunately, there are no recipes for the cookies served at the stores in the book. Which is fine by me, because I just roll up to West Covina Mall to visit my friend's store when I have a Mrs. Fields craving.
