Junk food weakness…GO! Chocolate? Ice Cream? Pie? Cake? Jelly Beans perhaps? Me….well, I am a cookie girl! I’ll take a nice soft chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven PLEASE! If you add in a twist of peanut butter, I’ll really be your best friend. Well, since NOT all cookies are created equal, I find complete satisfaction in creating my own. Being able to monitor the sugar-load and flour content is a real beautiful thing. So….here we have a recipe that I basically have done before in a sandwich form, but decided to keep the same formula and make it chocolate chip style. I’ve done them for breakfast with a Greek yogurt, packed in school lunch and dessert too. If there are allergies around, just sub in some soy nut butter. Bonus – they freeze beautifully!!!
