Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

It is amazing how some things that you love, you pass it along to your children. Especially, when it comes to food. I don’t know if it is because you make those things more often because you like them or there is something else in the gene pool that gets transferred. Either way, both V and I are big fans of Peanut Butter. V calls it “peanah buttah”. Funnily, how he says belly button as “petty pattice” sounds very similar to peanut butter. We often get confused when he says one of these words and sometimes think one is the other and it totally wouldn’t make sense at all. Go on. Try it. Put the two words in place of each other. I dare you.

This holiday season I wanted to bake cookies with V and thought what better to make that some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that both of us love so much! I made about 2 dozen cookies and they all vanished within a few days. I am currently running on zero cookie stock and I need to bake all over again if I want more for Christmas.
