Whether you consider this a chocolate cookie with peanut butter or a peanut butter cookie with chocolate, you are in for a treat. Following in the footsteps of the previous reviewer, I too added a handful (or so) of chopped peanuts and mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Really, the cookie needed no adornment, but the extras made these over the top decadent and a perfect addition to my holiday trays. Now to hide them until the tins are packed. Made for the "I recommend" Tag Game.

I'm a happily married mother of two and I own a jewelry and accessory business. My husband and I were vegan for six years, we now eat poultry and fish. My husband is a personal trainer and competitive bodybuilder, so it's very important that we eat healthy... too bad I have such a sweet-tooth!
