Off and on during the course of my life there has been Amish Friendship Bread in my house. Recently on “Divide & cook” day we wanted cookies instead of bread. Here were the results:
We started with a recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies, but changed it a couple of ways. First we have sess brown sugar in ours simply because the brown sugar we had was too hard. Second, instead of peanut butter chips, we used milk chocolate chips.
In the end, I am very happy with the results, the chocolate chips really help make it great.
Here is basically the end recipe we used:
