I like it. I am genuinely curious about the naming, as i would have called these chocolate chip with peanut butter. Wondering how much is because i grew up with chocolate chip only and the peanut butter addition was a more recent experience to me, or if it’s just regional thinking.
The recipe is for peanut butter cookies. And I love chocolate, so I add chocolate chips to them. They’re completely optional. You can replace the chocolate chips for raisins or whatever else you enjoy!
I find this recipe makes softer, less dry peanut butter cookies, probably due to the butter, than the easy 3 recipe version found on the back of peanut butter containers.
I was wanting those peanut butter balls that are covered in chocolate and decided on cookies instead.
With that said, call them whatever you like!
