It’s COOKIE MONDAY time! A new series that I started on my YouTube Channel! I’ve made peanut butter cookies many times, but these were my favorite because I not only put Ghirardelli Dark Sea Salt Caramel in the center, I also tried it with Cookie Butter from Trader Joes.
The texture is chewy even after I left it sitting in the open air for about two hours! I probably could have made the cookies bite-sized, but if you are having a bake sale these cookies would be perfect to sell individually.
There are so many different ways I can make peanut butter cookies, what are some ways you have made them?
