It’s a sunny day and a perfect day to make these chewy-melt in your mouth cookies. My kids are older now but they still crave for special treats from time to time. I can smell a hint of cinnamon with the perfect combo of peanut butter and chocolate. When I bake something delicious like these cookies, it’s very reminiscent of their childhood. It also reminds me of the kids coming home from school and the first thing they grab is a jar full of “ooey gooey” cookies.
