Soft Baked Peanut Butter Cookies

Soft Baked Peanut Butter Cookies

My neighbor gave me a bag of peanut butter, milk chocolate swirled morsels. Being the cookie lover that I am, I had to incorporate them into a cookie. 

These cookies turn out soft and chewy. They have the same consistency as a normal chocolate chip cookie and are nothing like the normal crunchy peanut butter cookie recipes. It is important not to over bake these cookies. 

This is what happens when the over bake. These cookies were left in until they were golden. You want to take them out of the oven when they still appear undercooked.

I gave most of these to my neighbor. While I was visiting with her, she ate 7 right away. These are super good cookies. The peanut butter swirled morsels add a extra kick of peanut butter which makes them amazing. Whats also great about them, is they do not spread a lot in the oven. It's a perfect recipe to try for those who usually have the problem with there cookies spreading and forming together.
