Peanut Butter Chocolate Chips!

This recipe originated from cookies called "peanut butter blossoms", which calls for Hershey kisses... One time I was making these cookies and realized that I didn't have Hershey kisses, but I had chocolate chips so I went with it. 

Turns out that they were even better as peanut butter chocolate chips and they are easier to eat. They are for sure a crowd pleaser! I always make these when I have company. This year we are hosting Easter Sunday dinner and these will be on the dessert spread.
