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.
