Almost Like Granny's Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Sometimes naming a recipe is challenging. Especially with cookies. What makes the recipe different, or stand out from another one? Well, the day one of Truckin' Mans friends was enjoying some of these tasty cookies and proclaimed "These are almost like my grandma's cookies", I knew that was what I would call them.

I've made this recipe so many times now, and it is always a hit. The cookies turn out perfectly every time. The only draw back to this recipe is that you do need to chill the dough. Now, I am not saying that I have always followed the rules, but the rules are worth following. Your patience in waiting is greatly rewarded.

This isn't a new recipe, it's from an old cookbook that was handed down to Grace at A Southern Grace, and being the lovely southern Carolina girl that she is and sharing, we are all able to enjoy this lovely cookie. The only change I have made from her recipe, is that I add some peanut butter chips to mine.
