“I have a request for my birthday. I love peanut butter and I love chocolate. I love cookies.”

Wham bam, thank you, I AM baking you Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Tony.

There’s nothing like the marriage of peanut butter and chocolate, and there is NOTHING like a friend forever.

Tony and I met over five years ago, on a one day trip to NYC on my way to India. We stopped in to Tiffany’s (of course we did), and met Tony, The Ambassador of Luxury.
Our friendship was immediately fostered. We shone together and we always will.

I’ll do anything for Tony. He’s my friend for always and forever.
And, he’s my Ambassador of Luxury!

Happy Birthday, Tony! I hope these little guys made it to you in full form.

Tony’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies 🍪

1 stick butter (8 Tbs.), room temperature

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cream together the butter, peanut butter, and eggs until smooth and fluffy.
Add the sugar, vanilla, baking soda and powder, and salt. Continue whipping until really fluffy.

Fold in the chocolate chunks.

Chill for 30 minutes.
