Peanut and Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut and Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies might be a mouthful but as you can tell from the name they will be delicious in every bite you take!

You know what’s not fun? It’s when you run out of butter and peanut butter when making these cookies (obviously two main components). I made 6 dozen of these bad boys. Well actually I made a dozen with creamy peanut butter then realized I still needed to make 5 dozen more so I changed to chunky peanut butters. Why 6 dozen cookies you ask? 3 dozen more for a women’s church event and 3 for The 5th Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. – the whole reason this recipe is even in existence.

Who wouldn’t get excited about exchanging a bunch of cookies with other food bloggers, meeting new people, and all while raising money for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer? With both pregnancies all I craved were cookies so last year I made these and this year I made a batch of another one I craved. So my friend brought over these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies one night and I became wildly obsessed with them. And in true Hall Nesting fashion I had to add a few things.

These Peanut and Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies hit every note – salty, sweet, nutty, chocolatey (is that a word?) what else could you ask for? Oh ya and as you can gather from the long name because peanut butter and chocolate was not enough I decided let’s throw in a little cookie butter.

Have you had cookie butter from Trader Joe’s yet? My friend Lindsay introduced me to this stuff. Actually her exact words were you need to try this stuff and figure out a recipe to put it in. Challenge accepted as I ate my way through half a jar later…this stuff is that good.

Even though I’m no longer pregnant, my cookie cravings are still very strong. And I’ve always wanted to be one of those people who had a jar full of cookies in their house – I guess now I am.
