Cookie of the Week.......Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

So, I'm going to start something new, I'm gonna TRY and post a new cookie recipe every week.  My kids love cookies, I don't usually buy store-bought, it's so easy to make homemade, and it's so much cheaper! These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies are so delicious, and we love them.  I started making them a while back when Becca was about 3 years old. They are a Martha Stewart recipe, she made them on her t.v. show back in 2000!!!!  Wow, that was a long time ago, and I've been making them ever since. 

I use my Kitchen Aid Mixer when making a batch of cookies, it's so easy, and saves so much time! This original recipe only made about 2 dozen cookies, so I double the recipe below, they are so good, one recipe is never enough. Try these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies, you will love them!
