Soft Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

These are the softest and cakiest peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies! They are perfectly sweet and easy to make.

Chocolate Chip Cookies have always been my favorite cookie. They were the first thing I learned to bake on my own and there is something about biting into a soft, warm, chocolaty cookie straight from the oven (you know what I’m talking about).

Peanut Butter + Chocolate Chunks + Chocoalte Chips = Heaven

Then, during my first pregnancy, I had a love affair with peanut butter cookies. I may have even convinced my sister-in-law to come over and bake them for me once while I sat on my butt. Or maybe that was during my second pregnancy? Who can remember with all the sugar and hormones flying around.
