Try saying that three times fast. Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies, Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies, Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies. Sigh. Definitely a tongue twister but your tongue will be happy when you put one of these cookies in your mouth. They are really a mix and drop cookie so fast and easy to make.
I found this recipe in a book that I bought many years ago and completely forgot that I had. When my kids were younger, their schools would have Scholastic Book Fairs. I bought this book at one of those fairs. It’s called Toll House Nestle Cookies and it has recipes in it from Drop Cookies to Bar Cookies to Brownies. It’s a great resource to have. I was organizing some of my kitchen cabinets and came across this book. I will definitely be using this a lot. 😉
Ingredients needed:

Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter in a large bowl until creamy.

Step four:
Gradually beat in flour mixture.
