    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!

      Mine always did the three ingredient version. One cup peanut butter, one egg, one cup sugar. Now I’m wondering if I could just add some chocolate chips.

      This type of fraud should be prosecuted as a crime

      Raisins are grapes minus everything that makes grapes awesome. Conversely, craisins are cranberries minus everything that makes cranberries awful.

      But neither of those belong in a cookie. Ever. unless those cookies are for someone you fucking hate. Because as soon as they bite into one, they will fucking hate you.

        I mostly agree, but I will say: Publix makes some really good oatmeal raisin cookies that are soft, and spiced with a bit of cinnamon. I don’t eat cookies often, much less oatmeal raisin, but I wouldn’t turn down one of those.

    Brilliant… except… everything tends towards chocolate, and the chocolate tends to dominate in flavour.

    I mean… I want these. lol. I cannot lie.

    But I worry that they’re just more enchocolatification of everything. lol
