Vanilla White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
These SOFT and CHEWY peanut butter cookies are dressed up by using White Chocolate Peanut Butter, white chocolate chips extra vanilla and even a vanilla bean.
Alright y’all! It’s December, and I have some super exciting news for you! Cookies! Vanilla White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies to be exact. That’s it. That’s the news. I have been working on cookies non stop for a few weeks. All so I can have some Ahhh-mazing cookie recipes to share with you. That’s right. I have been working tirelessly on cookies. My fridge has been stocked in butter. My clothes have been covered in flour. My hands have been tired from all the dishes. You guys. The dishes. It’s ridiculous.
But I am so excited to be sharing the first of several cookie recipes coming your way. These Vanilla White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies are the things dreams are made of. Literally. I dreamt about them.
These were actually the hubs’ idea. And I gotta say, it works. I took a classic peanut butter cookie, and tweaked it slightly to load up on white chocolate and vanilla. I used a vanilla bean, because it’s my new favorite thing to do. I’m becoming a pro at slicing and scraping now. Plus lots of vanilla extract.
I used a White Chocolate Peanut Butter I found at Target. These can absolutely be made with regular peanut butter though. Just add a few more white chocolate chips. I don’t think anyone will complain!
