You will be deliciously rewarded when you make these chocolate peanut butter cookies. The recipe is from an old magazine clipping I've had for many years.
My cookies came out alittle different than the ones pictured in the magazine article. I had 2 less cookies (28) than the 30 cookie yield from the recipe, however mine appear to be much thicker than the cookies pictured in the clipping. Below are the steps I took for this recipe.
