Chocolate peanut butter cookies are simply irresistible for lots of people. But getting the right recipe is crucial: if this kind of cookie is not perfectly made, the disappointment will be great! I have always found chocolate and peanut butter to be the best combination possible. Whether you are making peanut butter chocolate cookies, or eating chocolate peanut butter cups, there is just nothing like it. I literally cannot allow myself to have chocolate candies in my house. I can’t control myself around them.
I feel like the tastes balance each other out somehow. It only works if the peanut butter has some salt added to it. I have always loved to cook chocolate recipes, and chocolate peanut butter cookies are my favorite. To me, however, they do not work if they use the processed peanut butter. You have to get the all-natural kind that separates and needs to be stirred. Otherwise, the chocolate and peanut butter cookies will not turn out right. They will taste slimy and artificial. They will not stand up to the tastes of a true chocolate peanut butter connoisseur like myself.
Of course, the one time that processed peanut butter works is in chocolate peanut butter cups. I am fairly certain that this is the artificial kind of peanut butter with the partially hydrogenated oils. I checked the package once, and I believe that is what it said. Still, nothing is better than chocolate peanut butter candies. I just can’t get enough of them.
I have always loved to cook chocolate peanut butter cookies for other people. Normally, I cannot cook them. I will eat them all, you see, so I have to have a special reason to get to make them. This is why I love when my daughter has her birthday. That way, I get to make a chocolate peanut butter cookies for all of her friends. Sometimes I will make chocolate peanut butter brownies too, but she thinks that is going too far.
Of course, last year I did not get to make anything. You see, there is a kid in her class with a peanut allergy. Just being around chocolate peanut butter cookies will kill him, or so they say. Needless to say, my daughter was very disappointed. None of the kids in her class got to eat any chocolate peanut butter cookies. Of course, I brought her some chocolate cake to school. It was pretty good, but I don’t think it was the same. Still, the birthday party was a hit. All the kids love to get to eat sweets in class.
