It was Sunday morning. R was making his lunches for the week and next thing I see he’s pulling out ingredients for these healthy peanut butter cookies.

Turns out he was having a major craving for cookies. He couldn’t decide if he want peanut butter cookies or chocolate chip cookies.

I suggested, “Why don’t you just add chocolate chips to the remaining batter of the cookies?”.

According to him, I’m a genius. Yes, baby I know. I am the one who came up with these healthy peanut butter cookies to begin with. Why not make them into chocolate peanut butter cookies also.

Baking Tips for thesePeanut Butter Cookies

• Add a handful of chocolate chips to these healthy peanut butter cookies for that delish chocolate and peanut butter combo.
• You want to let these cookies FULLY cool before removing from the pan. If you remove too soon they will crumble on you.

Meanwhile, I’ll sit over here eating my homemade peppermints. Yes, I will choose peppermints over peanut butter cookies. R says I’m crazy. What would you choose?
