Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Cookies

Soft peanut butter-y cookies meet dark chocolate-y goodness. 

These cookies are off the charts!

Perfect for an after-school snack, teacher gifts, or just to enjoy yourself. You can't ever go wrong with a peanut butter + chocolate combination.

I came across this wonderful recipe when I ordered my new Nordic Ware Baking Sheets. My husband loves Peanut Butter cookies and I love sweets. So with much anticipation I was ready to put my new baker's half sheet to work - and try this new recipe. Just like the baking sheet, these cookies did not disappoint.
