Does anyone remember those delicious peanut butter cookies from the cafeteria in elementary school? You know, the really chewy, sticky, lumpy ones?
If you do…these are those, except BETTER. Because it has chocolate, of course.
If you don’t…you were probably grossed out by my extremely appetizing description. Please don’t be! These are soooo good.
The hardest part is waiting for them to set. I generally shy away from the stovetop and things that involve cooking in general, but these are so quick and easy. Just mix and drop!

I'm a senior in college, juggling my aspirations to become a doctor with my passions for baking, new experiences, love, and life. Last semester, I studied abroad in Dublin, and I had the time of my life exploring incredible new places, opening my eyes to a whole new world, and being continually amazed at the wonders surrounding me, and I am so blessed to have had this opportunity to be able to witness them. I hope to provide some inspiration and musings on this crazy beautiful world, while making your day a little bit brighter.
I´ve made these earlier today, and they are absolutely delicious!! :)
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! :)
