The turkey has been carved, the last bits of gravy have been slurped up with a soft white roll and the last few pieces of pie have been doled out to departing family as the last memories of yet another thankful Thanksgiving.
Now let’s get to the good stuff: Christmas cookies!
While this recipe for Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies may not scream holidays, it is a really taaaaaasty cookie and should absolutely be relished thanks to its super dunking abilities. But if you’re looking for peppermint, coconut or biscotti I have the recipes for you.

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you’ve seen a few teases of a new ebook I’ve created with Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod. Oh yes it is time my friend for more sugar, chocolate and cookie dunking!

I’ve made these cookies a few times. My favourite flavour combo is peanut butter and chocolate ~ these definitely fulfill that craving My only comments may be helpful to someone attempting this recipe for the first-time. I suggest refrigerating the dough for up to an hour before forming your cookies. I also just used a cookie scoop – don’t flatten.
