| White Chocolate Wonderful Peanut Butter Cookies |
My husband’s favorite cookie is peanut butter. I often make him the peanut butter kiss cookies, but the chocolate candy on top tends to get quite messy for my two year old daughter. One day I happened upon a recipe from Broma Bakery for chewy peanut butter cookies, and knew I had to try it.
Putting my own little twist on things, I used White Chocolate Wonderful Peanut Butter. If you are a white chocolate fan like myself, I highly suggest trying this peanut butter. You can find it at Walmart right next to the classic peanut butter brands. It is SO yummy, you could spoon it right out of the container like dessert. (Not that I would do anything like that, just saying)…Due to this peanut butter brand’s high moisture content, I omitted the extra milk from the original recipe. Also, I did not add any extra salt since I was already using salted butter.
These cookies turned out fabulously. They have a nice, chewy texture and a definite back note of white chocolate with the peanut butter. As a bonus, my daughter ate one as soon as they cooled and left only a few crumbs on her face instead of a big smudge of chocolate.

*At 12 minutes, these cookies turn out slightly crispy yet still soft. If you prefer a crispier cookie, I suggest baking them longer.
