Peanut butter meet chocolate. You're going to love each other.

Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips
slightly adapted from Martha Stewart's Peanut Butter Cookies recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips*

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix sugar, brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add egg, then vanilla and finally peanut butter. Add flour and baking soda until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Leave about an inch and a half between the cookies. Bake for 7 minutes. Pull cookies out and lightly press crisscross fork patterns into the cookies. Bake for an additional 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

*Mini chocolate chips are my new best friend. Sure, they don't give you that single bite of melted chocolate, but they are good when using two different flavors like peanut butter because they compliment without overwhelming.

These cookies are seriously crumbly and sugar. Disclaimer though: you won't be able to stop at just one!
