The Most Decadent Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

Do you want to try the most decadent peanut butter chocolate cookies ever? Then this is the recipe for you!

The most absolutely decadent peanut butter filled chocolate cookies ever

Peanut Butter filling, chocolate cookie dough, cookies balls all in the process of becoming the most decadent peanut butter chocolate cookiesEvery chocolate lover will love these cookies. The peanut butter chocolate cookies are great on their own. But these cookies have a peanut butter filling that makes for a nice surprise and kicks up the overall decadent-ness level to 11.

In fact, I highly recommend that you have a big glass of cold milk to help these go down. They are that decadent! And so delicious.

If you are going to make the dough ahead of time, then I recommend adding a tablespoon of milk to the dough. If it sits around, it will dry out and that will not be good.

The Perfect Combination

Ever get the idea that maybe, just maybe I love the peanut butter chocolate combination?

First, there were the no bake Peanut Butter Brownie Balls. Then there was the Reese’s Peanut Butter Brownies which are absolutely perfect for a make ahead tailgating dessert.

Chocolate and peanut butter just go together like… peanut butter and chocolate!
