Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was craving cookies, so I decided to make Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies (because is there any better combo??).

These cookies came out soft and chewy, just the way that I like them.

I didn't have time to refrigerate the dough as the original recipe recommends, but they still turned out amazing!
