I think my two favorite goodies to make are brownies and chocolate chip cookies. So I end up playing around with my favorites a lot and I end up with lots of variations.
Just like how I used my favorite brownie recipe to make Marble Cheesecake Brownies that I made about a week ago. So GOOD!
My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe is from a super old Betty Crocker cookbook my mom has.
Found here but I half the recipe.
Thus I created a Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Cookie. And then just because I’m a little bit obsessed with peanut butter I made some peanut butter filling and created the Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches.
And let me tell you they do not disappoint!
They are super rich so I could only eat about two. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t saved a couple for the next day.
Now on to the good stuff…
