This is our favorite cookies for year now since 2015. However, in pulling the recipe back up I noticed you changed the ingredients around, out of order so to speak. Could you possibly change it back, meaning switching the eggs and peanut butter? It makes it easier and faster to do when they are all in order.
Love these cookies!!!!
A chocolate lovers dream! Thanks for sharing.
