So, my wife and I were craving cookies this weekend. We couldn’t decide between making chocolate chip or peanut butter. Then I had this great idea and told my wife “Why not have the best of both!” So, we slightly altered our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe and “Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies” were born! Some friends came over, tried them, and fell in love. We hope you will too!
