{recipe} chocolate peanut butter cookies.

happy wednesday! hope you all are enjoying your weekend and are getting a bit of this spring like weather. i am not complaining at all and am all for spring coming early (despite what the ground hog told us).

i know this isn't my usual wedding wednesday post but the next best thing from besides talking about weddings, it talking about cookies, chocolate peanut butter cookies no less. i whipped this recipe up a few weeks back while matt was out of town and then promptly gave all of them away before i could eat them all (i have a wedding dress to fit into don't forget!) but i did manage to get one...ok maybe two right out of the oven and they were heaven.  enjoy!
