Peanut Butter Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

I think there is one thing my youngest son and I agree on...Chocolate and peanut butter belong together. There is no denying it I love the way they go together. If I am craving candy I usually want a peanut butter cup. I have been known to take dark chocolate and swipe it through the peanut butter on occasion. This is my Gram's recipe. The woman could bake like no other. And I am sure every granddaughter says that about their grandmother. Most of my memories revolve around her baking or cooking.
