I just decided to add a few chocolate chips to make it even yummier.
I think one of the happiest days of my life in this country was when I found peanut butter at my local grocery store and the 2nd was when I found barbecue sauce, now every store I go into has these and a lot of other products.
One thing about these Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies, besides the fact that they are absolutely irresistible,
the dough has to be refrigerated for at least 8 hours, that was the way my mother always made them, but when my cousin (who was also my recipe tester for my Book – Authentic Italian Desserts) made them she was didn’t want to wait 8 hours, so
she chilled them for an hour and yup perfect Peanut Butter Cookies. So thanks Janet I made them, video taped them and ate them!
Of course if you don’t have time to bake them the dough will hold in the fridge for up to 2 days.

You could even leave the dough in the fridge over night and whip them up in the morning!
No one’s going to know you are having these Thick Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies for breakfast unless you tell them, and I won’t talk.
I made these last weekend for a get together with friends. Most Italians have never tasted peanut butter, but these cookies were well received and yes they finished my cookies!
So I’m off to bake up another batch. Enjoy alone or with a big glass of milk or cup of tea or coffee.
