peanut butter chocolate chip shortbread cookies
I wanted to do something special for the guys that work on our vehicles and I needed something fairly quick, easy and yummy! This recipe was perfect, something they could munch on with their morning coffee. This is the kind of cookie that melts in your mouth, it's not to sweet and it's easy to make! I found this wonderful recipe on Great Island Blog. This lady knows her cookies!! I made a very minor change on this recipe. The recipe called for milk chocolate chips, I only had semi-sweet mini chocolate chips on hand. Hope you enjoy! My photo's
