Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Today it rained.  Not a heavy rain, but enough to make it dreary, cool, and wet the ground. The type of rain that makes you want to curl up on the couch with a good book and just soak up life. The kind of rain that makes you want a warm cookie and a glass of milk.  When rain makes me want a cookie, who am I to deny the urge?  I went digging in my stockpile and found a bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips. Those things are so good, and even better thrown in a batch of chocolate cookies. So with puppies at my feet, and kids running in and out of the kitchen I whipped up a batch of these Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies.

Follow the directions above and mix the chocolate cookie dough.  It is good by itself, but even better with the peanut butter chips!

Drop them by round tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheet. I use a cookie scoop for this. Has to be one of my favorite kitchen tools! Bake for 10 minutes at 350 F
