Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies were always a staple at my Grandmother's house- there was always a cookie jar full of them when I was growing up. Now, these cookies are chewy as opposed to crispy and have chocolate and peanut butter chips, but I like to think they carry on the spirit of my grandmother as I share them with my friends. These cookies are chewy and peanut-buttery and delicious with the addition of chocolate and peanut butter chips- they definitely put these over the edge!


Here's the beautiful dough...


And the cookies ready to go into the oven.
