    Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies an Instant Classic

    August 6, 2015 Filed Under: Cookies, Desserts

    Simple chocolate cookie with chocolate and peanut butter chips. 

    These Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are easy to make and quick to disappear. Simple twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie.

    Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

    Time to Fill the Cookie Jar! On the first Thursday of the month I join with a group of other talented bloggers to post cookie recipes based on our monthly theme. This month we have Back to School / Children's Favorite cookies. Be sure to check out the other recipes from the group at the bottom of the page.

    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 Dinh when I have a Mrs. Fields craving.

    I made these for a going away present for our neighbors that moved away. They sent me text messages from the road telling me how good they were. Then I made another batch for the friend that rescued this site after the nightmarish host transfer gone bad experience. And he also praised them.

    But the theme is Children's Favorite, so how did my child like them? I got distracted blogging and didn't notice that he snuck FOUR of them! So, I'd say they were a hit.
