Peanut Butter & White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

 

 

I am sure that many of you face this problem of having too many leftover ingredients post Christmas. This is the case with me too – I have been left with too many dry fruits and lots of chocolate, especially white chocolate and I have decided to put them to good use this month. You see, I would have liked to experiment with some recipes in January but I had stuffed myself with so many goodies in December that January had to be a month for detoxing and getting a hang of eating simple home cooked meals minus the sugar over load. Anyway, since old habits die hard I am back to doing what I love the most – baking! Apart from breads I have decided to try my hand at baking other goodies this year so cookies it was.

 

While I am not such a big fan of cookies I found this recipe interesting enough to be tried. It called for peanut butter and white chocolate – two things languishing in my pantry waiting to be used up. What better opportunity than this to make good use of both, I asked myself. Cookies are pretty popular in my house, especially with the man who likes to nibble on them. My little ones like them too and I may eat one or two at the most especially when they are fresh and warm, right out of the oven

 

 

This is pretty much an easy recipe and you can substitute the white chocolate chunks with regular milk or dark chocolate or throw in some chocolate chips if you like. The cookies make a great gift, they have a longer shelf life than cakes and are easier to put together too.
