Rich Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips

After seeing this...my December calendar page...I knew I would have to begin the month with a chocolate chip cookie recipe. 

SO Come along...my Chocolate Chip Friends....

Thanks once again for taking time to visit my blog.

Honestly, I have so many cookie recipes in my drafts, and am hoping to share them this busy month of baking.

So this is just a 'taste' of more to come....

I am a Cookie Monster and love trying new recipes. I hope you'll join me in doing that this month also.

MMMMMMM! 

Give me a glass of milk and sit me down - QUICK!

These cookies are calling my name...LOUDLY!

I love cookies, especially with the combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

This recipe would be another good one to consider making for a cookie exchange or for gift giving.

I love that you dip the tops of these cookies in sugar - it adds a little sparkle to the holiday.  You could even try red or green sugar?

This recipe makes a small batch (about 2 dozen) so if you just want a few cookies to satisfy that sweet tooth, these would be a great choice.
