In this post, there are more photos than normal of the finished product. That’s because it’s the most beautiful morsel of peanut butter and chocolate you ever did see. The fact that they’re massively oversized just seems fitting. Because if they were any smaller, well, you wouldn’t feel like the cookie conqueror you should. Even from my sister who doesn’t like peanut butter cookies, she admitted these were one of the best things I’ve ever baked. So scroll on down, try not to drool, and get to crafting your very own.
