Baking Monday – Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Really, you can't go wrong with Mrs. Fields ... everything I've made from that cookie book has been terrific.



These cookies get a swirly pattern from adding melted chocolate to the dough as the very last step. I cut the butter down to 1.5 sticks and replaced half of the milk chocolate chips with peanut butter chips.

Plain peanut butter cookies are kind of blah IMHO, so I loved the chippy addition to these. Super peanut-butter yum! This recipe would halve easily, but why would you want to? Makes about 60 cookies.
