Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

By srumbel

They aren’t just any cookies. They are salted chocolate peanut butter chip cookies. Salted chocolate peanut butter chip cookies that make a minimal mess, have a minimal cooking time, and require minimal effort to eat! I knew I had to share them right away so I wouldn’t forget! The base of the cookies is a soft, rich chocolate cookie. Sweet peanut butter chips are stirred in to offset the rich chocolate and give them that classic combination. If you’re a little wary of sprinkling sea salt on top of your cookies, you could always leave it off. However, I strongly recommend that you try it on at least a few of the cookies. You’d really be missing out on the sweet and salty combo!
