I. Can’t. Stop. Eating. These mmm…magnificent Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Pinwheel Cookies! This batch just came out of the oven. All warm, the chocolate chips all gooey! My taste buds think that I’ve died and gone to heaven. Stop it! Stop that! Leave those alone. Jeez–I just can’t control myself with these cookies…
Ok, so here’s the deal. Unless you want to be addicted, don’t make these cookies. Unless you want your friends to call you every couple of weeks, begging you to come to a party–and bring “those cookies”, don’t make these cookies. Seriously, this is fair warning. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Pinwheel Cookies are not for the uninformed.
But, now that we have the disclaimer out of the way, you can grab a mixer and get started. Because, if you’re still here, you’re serious. I can tell.
And it’s like this: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Pinwheel Cookies are serious business. My husband literally sits at the bar, waiting for them to come out of the oven. My grandkids–don’t get me started.
Go ahead and pin this. Even if you’re making Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Pinwheel Cookies right now, you will want to save the recipe for use again in, oh, about 30 minutes (that’s about how long it takes to demolish a batch). LOL!
