Submitted by mustluvcookin

"I LOVE these cookies! If you love peanut butter and chocolate chips, you will love these too.It is difficult to keep them. My family eats them so quickly.I found this recipe in a Pillsbury cookie cookbook. The original recipe uses a store bought refrigerated roll cookie dough but I made my own dough. So, I am including the homemade cookie dough in this recipe for you."
