Today I’m sharing these Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies. If you have followed my blog for a while you are probably aware I love to cook with peanut butter. I have shared my recipes for peanut butter chocolate brownies, peanut butter cupcakes and flourless peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips. So it should come as no surprise that I would visit the Hersheys store in Times Square, New York on my honeymoon and bring home Reese’s peanut butter chips to use for baking.
Now that I’ve been back home just over a month and wishing I could still be on my honeymoon (or any holiday for that matter), I thought it would be a nice treat to make some chocolate cookies with these yummy peanut butter chips.
It was the perfect way to end the weekend.
Thanks for reading.
