Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cookies

As I grew up as long as I can remember my Mom’s best friend use to make these cookies!  I loved them as a kid and I still love them now!  When I got older and moved out on my own I basically begged her for the recipe so I could make them on my own… I still have the little 3×5 card she wrote it down on… And now I can share the recipe with you!

This recipe card has been through a lot of baking days... I can still read what I need from it though... That's whats important!

    I have felt a bit uninspired over the last couple of weeks, I think I’ve been over tired so when I stumbled on this recipe I had to try it. My fiancée’s favourite thing is peanut butter and I’ve been trying to find something a bit different to try. Although a cookie is relatively simple and not that different, I hadn’t thought of making a swirl cookie before and it looks very yummy! I am definitely going to give it a go. Results will be posted soon.

    What are your favourite things to bake with peanut butter?
