Oh! My! Gosh! I mean seriously! I think I should rename these cookies to Danger Will Robinson Cookies. They’re sooo delicious they are truly dangerous.

They are soft, moist, chewy, and way yummy! I stashed mine in the back of the freezer hoping to forget about them for a bit. No chance and they’re even fabulous frozen. You have to try these. They have officially gone on my favorite foods of all time list. Bet they’ll go on yours, too.

  4. Man, your blog is soooo bad for my expanding tush, but who cares. I'm more into exercising my mouth and tongue by chewing anyway. Another treat that I'll make and I think my nieces and nephews will like them as well.

  7. This might put a dent in my weight loss plans! I can't WAIT to make these. I LOVE anything and everything to do with PB and then you throw the chocolate in there… i'm so done!

    Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my blog.

  10. I am printing this recipe out right now! My daughter was trying to figure out how to do this and they just would not work. She was improvising, so she could have left out a crucial step and we live at altitude which may have caused troubles, but I am going to have her look at your recipe and try it again!

    BTW, all of her flops tasted great!

  39. I loved how you tried to hide them in the back of the freezer and then ate them frozen:D That sounds exactly like something I would do. There isn't much that gets in the way of me and the duo of peanut butter and chocolate! They look delicious. I'm going to keep them in mind next time I make some cookies.

  44. They look and sound yummy Kathleen! Shoving in the freezer can sometimes be a more dangerous thing for me to do….although the extra energy spent opening and closing the door may burn a few extra calories. 😉
