Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes you just want one cookie and then,  you make a whole batch.  C’est la vie!  I had this lingering half full bag of mini chocolate chips and peanut butter that was about to expire – and thus, these cookies were meant to happen.  This recipe also gave me a chance to really see what my new Breville Smart Oven is made of.  I’m talkin’ about my new “toaster-oven”.  I love the Breville! I am using it more and more and, it really can be a great substitute for the oven in so many scenarios.  Also, I can avoid heating up my house by using my conventional oven.  And, it heats up fast!  So, these are my spare ingredient, toaster-oven cooked, and super delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!  Enjoy them!
