The creative geniuses responsible for the scrumptious peanut butter flavors offered by Peanut Butter & Co. have my undying admiration and affection. Dark Chocolate Dreams. Mighty Maple. The Bee’s Knees. Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. Although all of the varieties are decadent, sweet, and downright delicious, my favorite pick from the peanut butter pantry is White Chocolate Wonderful. I know there are some who dislike white chocolate – either because of its intense sweetness or because it isn’t technically chocolate – but I am a shameless fan of the creamy confection. Combine luscious white chocolate with rich peanut butter and I go weak at the knees…
Make cookies featuring the exquisite flavor combination and I swoon.
These cookies have just enough white chocolate flavor to keep from being cloyingly sweet. Peanut butter contributes a slight crispness to the outside of the cookies, but they are soft enough to practically melt in your mouth.
I’m afraid these two-bite treats aren’t destined to last very long in our kitchen…
