Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips

January 10, 2015 by Randle 2 Comments

The thing I missed most after switching to a plant-based diet was Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I don’t care how artificial they are, they bring me to a special place.

That’s why I’m all about indulging in peanut butter and chocolate. Eating isn’t JUST about your physical health – it plays a role in your happiness too.

These cookies look a little bit like your classic peanut butter cookies, but their texture is unique. I would liken it to a shortbread cookie: they crumble when you bite into them and then melt in your mouth.

(And then you’re lost to the world, far far away swimming in pools of molten chocolate and peanut butter heaven.)

    […] The answer to my smoothie dilemma was oats. Oats! They make smoothies more filling, for one thing, so they feel like actual meals instead of indulgent juices. And more importantly, oats make smoothies taste like a cross between cake batter and a milkshake. And in the case of this Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie, oats give it the texture of a rich, peanut butter-packed blizzard of Reese’s. And you know how I feel about Reese’s. […]
