The Perfect Peanut Butter Cookie

Look no further for that perfect peanut butter cookie! This is it people! After trying several recipes (including my own personal variations to the following recipe) I have found it!!!! 

Thanks to Dessert Now Dinner Later. {http://www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/2015/05/thick-and-chewy-peanut-butter-cookies/}

You know it's a sure winner when you seriously question your self control! I mean, it's a good thing this recipe only makes 19 cookies!

This recipe on its own is GREAT but I've tried it a variety of ways. I've added mini m&ms which were good but not great. I was kinda bummed the chocolate took away from the peanut butter flavor. So *lightbulb* I decided to use a peanut butter candy and what better than Reese's pieces!! These took this cookie to a whole new level! And added some color which I love! I have also made them into sandwich cookies using Nutella in the middle!!!! WOW!

Try them for yourself! And if you think you have a better peanut butter cookie recipe, let me know because I love trying new cookie recipes! :D
