The Fourth of July is around the corner, and I feel bad about not posting something red, white and blue. I guess I topped out with the flag cake. Maybe I'll make something with red, white and blue sprinkles, but for now here are some Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cookies. These are dense and chewy and you can pack them with as many peanut butter chips as you want. I think broken Oreos or better yet -- broken peanut butter Oreos would be a good addition as well.
The recipe makes 12 fairly large cookies, but you can always double it if you want more. I used Reese's Peanut Butter Chips and some generic mini peanut butter chips from the bulk bin.
