Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today is all about peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.

How to make peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

Why, you ask?  Because when I am celebrating, I make food.  And today, that food happens to be cookies.

I am celebrating because 1) I have tomorrow off.  Seems a little underwhelming, as it's just a day off.  

But I am SO excited about it.  I get to snuggle all night with my hubs and kittens and watch Revenge without setting an alarm.  

I say that's reason enough to make cookies, don't cha think?  2) I planted 2 huge gardens-worth of veggies a few weeks ago and I have all sorts of plants sprouting!  Again, this may not seem like a big deal, but I actually don't have much of a green thumb.  

I've killed plants numerous times in my life, so I was (am) very unsure if I can actually get a garden going.  So far I see spinach, arugula, peas, broccoli, cabbage and watermelon.  

Also, I found about 25 rhubarb plants around the yard!  Some ready to pick, and some need a little more time. How. Cool. Is it that I'm going make 1,252 different rhubarb recipes this spring/summer?  

All this good stuff calls for a celebration (and cookies).

P.S. If you have any tips for keeping my garden going, lemme know.  I need to become really good at this whole gardening thing so I can get to the cooking part, which I happen to be pretty good at.

What makes these the best cookies?!

Anyway.  Let's talk cookies.  I know I have another peanut butter cookie recipe: Peanut Butter Yogurt Cookies with Dark Chocolate, but one can never have too many cookie recipes.  

Also, those are flourless cookies, and the ones I made for you (me) today can be made with whole wheat pastry flour or oat flour.  

They are also LOADED with honey.  Because... honey. And then I put some speckles of dark chocolate in there, taking them from good --> great.  Just like that.

Not to mention that they're uber fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.  You'll want a cup of Joe or a glass of milk to go along with these bad boys.
