Chocolate Peanut Butter Double Chip Cookies

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

I have made these twice in one week and plan on making them again soon, they are amazing!...a chocolate cookie packed with chocolate and peanut butter chips, the texture is perfect and when left out until the next day (if have any left that is!) they crisp up a bit! You can make a double recipe and freeze the dough if desired.

Great cookie. I made the chocolate cookie dough base and added different mix-ins. I made half the batch with semi-sweet and white chocolate chips and the other half with peanut butter chips and mini reeses bits.

These were wonderful! The dough was delicious - my daughter said the it tasted like chocolate ice cream! I didn't put any choc. chips in them - just 3/4 bag of peanut butter chips and they were still wonderful - chocolatey, chewy - yum! The dough is very soft - and they come out of the oven soft. I waited until they were completely cooled and it was worth it - they are delicious and I'll be making these again soon!
