Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

/

This recipe has a special place in my heart as it reminds of some cookies that my auntie used to make when I was a little girl. I think that is what is special about recipes is they can serve a conduit for us to remember events and emotions and experiences.

This is a recipe I originally found in a Company’s Coming Chocolate Everything cookbook that I modified. I almost always double this recipe too as they don’t last long!
