100% would make again

With the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter, it's no surprise these are my family's favorite cookies. Because of their ease of preparation, I'm able to make them at a moment's notice. —Faith Jensen, Meridian, Idaho

I made these for my SS kids this past week and since it made a lot ,I had extra to share w/two other classes and some of the folks at church. EVERYONE loved them and I got rave reviews.

These are the best! Very easy. I reduced the chocolate chips to 1 cup and will probably reduce to 1/2 cup or omit completely the next time I make these.

I needed a plain recipe to make p-nut butter cup cookies in mini muffin form. I left out the chips and PB cups. Put the mini PB cups into the mini muffin shaped cookies after they came out of the oven. This recipe tastes just like the Betty Crocker package you buy in the store. Definitely will make again.
