Peanut Butter Chunky Chocolate Cookies

^[1]

These jumbo cookies delight with big chunks of chocolate in every bite. They’re simple but oh so good.

The cookie dough is kissed with creamy peanut butter …

…and hugged by giant chocolate wafers. Oh my… thighs.

I want to go just dive in.

I used a big scoop for these cookies that yielding 12-13 cookies from the dough. But feel free to use a smaller scoop for more cookies.

Look at these great big balls of cookie dough though.

Before baking sprinkle a little sea salt on top to make them taste extra special.

 

Oh my … so much melty chocolate.

 

Speaking of melty. If you can’t wait for these to cool like a certain sweets-loving person I know, then be prepared to enjoy puddles of warm chocolate with a tall glass of cold milk.
