Absolutely scrumptious soft and chewy peanut butter cookies. These cookies are made with crunchy peanuts and white chocolate chips mixed in and a light sprinkle of coarse salt on top.

I should not be allowed to make cookies this good!

I have such weakness for cookies and I kind of wish I didn’t make them often. But when the mood strikes you, what else are you to do but give in and make some?! It doesn’t help when your little boy looks you in the eyes and asks for cookies. All I can say is, “Would you like to help me make some? We’ll make some cookies right now!”

My absolute favorite time to eat a cookie is about 3 minutes after they come out of the oven. I could probably eat the whole batch of warm, soft cookies that are fresh from the oven just standing in the kitchen, waiting for the second batch. I could but I don’t. It takes so much will power and strength for me not to eat them all….I want to, but I don’t.

Now, why exactly 3 minutes? (Yes, I’ve been known to time myself.) It’s directly related to just how many times I’ve burned my mouth trying to eat the cookie that I just took out. They just smell and look so good, I’m powerless near them. So now I have to give it about 3 minutes so they are still pleasantly warm but won’t burn me.

    I have the dough chilling in the fridge right now… I didn’t have any eggs so I used a flax egg(1tbsp flax meal + 2.5tbsp of water). I also cut the sugar to 1/3 cup each. Hopefully it comes out okay!

      I hope the cookies came out well too! I haven’t tried using flax egg before but I hope it worked for you 🙂
      Sugar will really depend on your own taste, some people like things more sweet than others. I don’t like desserts to be too sweet, so I usually cut the sugar already but you may like even less sugar in your cookies. Hope you liked them!! 🙂
