Really yummy! I made these for the kids lunchboxes, crossing my fingers and hoping for the best using organic sugar (evaporated cane juice) and whole wheat pastry flour. They were fabulous and also a great way to sneak some extra whole grains into my junk food loving kids. Have never loved peanut butter chips, but the combo with semisweet chips is excellent. Cocoa in the cookie is really tasty, too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

For some reason, these tasted better to us the day after making them. Next time I would skip the chocolate chips and use all peanut butter chips.

I had forgotten about this recipe until I saw yours posted. I hadn't made these in a long time, but remembered it was a fabulous recipe. I immediately made them today, and boy are these great. Perfect texture! I use only the chocolate chips. Thanks for posting. Roxygirl in Colo.

I'd had these before but without the cocoa powder...the cocoa powder is a great addition to these cookies which already had a great flavor combination. Thanks for a cool addition to my Christmas cookie tray.
