Are you looking for a sweet, salty, chocolatey snack? Try these Honey Roasted Peanut Chocolate Cookies. You will not be disappointed.
When my foodie friend Ally from Ally’s Kitchen came out with Ally’s Kitchen eCookbook Holiday Series Sweet Treats ebook, I just had to download it right away. I didn’t have a chocolate cookie to make on my list, but when I saw hers it looked so easy, I just had to give it a try (especially since she’s a lot like me when it comes to baking…if it’s not a straight forward recipe and easy, I’ll move on!). I tweaked her recipe slightly and came up with these Honey Roasted Peanut Chocolate Cookies.
Honey Roasted Peanut Chocolate Cookies are easy to make and can be made in less than 30 minutes. They tasted INCREDIBLE! Ally gave you several options for toppings, but I chose to use one of my own by adding chopped honey roasted peanuts because that’s what I happened to have on hand. I thought they would taste pretty darn good and boy was I right. My family loved these cookies and I even put them on my holiday baking list. ~Enjoy!
