Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

The annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap was, yet another, success. This year's swap propelled me into the holiday season and marked the first of several evenings of cookie baking over the past few weeks.

For my part, I was excited to bake and send Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from Smitten Kitchen to food bloggers in New York City, California, and Texas. Twitter confirmation of cookie arrivals was received from both NYC and CA - a fun bonus of social media. These cookies tout peanut butter, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips, with a look and smell that is mouth-watering.
