White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

I find it very easy to get addicted to certain ingredients. Lately for me it’s been white chocolate baking chunks from Whole Foods. I try not to eat them straight out of the bag and actually make recipes with them, but these kind of things happen.

To finish off the bag and keep myself from eating them with spoonfuls of Nutella(highly recommended by the way) I made these cookies with the last 1/2 cup. I didn’t know white chocolate and peanut butter went so well together until I tried Peanut Butter & Co.’s White Chocolate Wonderful and they opened my eyes. These cookies have all the goodness of nutty peanut butter with creamy white chocolate—what more could you ask for?

White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies Raw

This is basically your grandmother’s easy peanut butter cookie recipe with white chocolate mixed in. You could use white chocolate peanut butter or some earthy spices to mix it up but I think they’re just as addictive when they’re done simple.
