Secret Recipe Club – Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

March 5, 2012 in chocolate, cookie

For this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I was given Amanda’s Cookin which was fun because she’s the lady who started the club. She has a ton of recipes on her blog but as soon as I saw the chocolate peanut butter cookies, I knew they were it for me. I do love a peanut butter cookie!

These are your basic peanut butter cookies with the addition of cocoa powder. They’re just as delicious as they sound and oh so rich! My 2 year old took one bite and said “my favorite!”

They were also easy as can be and I whipped them up in less than 30 minutes! Perfect for when you need a chocolate fix!
