The holiday season is officially upon us and the snow is starting to fall (where I live) and the temperatures have fallen. I have even started sending my kids to school with their winter coats, hats and boots! When the temperatures drop, I find myself in the kitchen baking and trying out recipes, new and old. I’m a major chocolate lover. I’m also a peanut butter lover. And, when you put the two ingredients together, I am in chocolate and peanut butter heaven! These chocolate peanut butter chip cookies are soft, chewy, bakery style. Perfect for dunking in a large tall glass of cold milk.
