Day 9: Peanut Butter White Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Day 9 of my 12 days of cookies: I truly think that any cookie made with peanut butter is impossible to screw up. The peanut butter gives the cookie such a wonderful texture that it's hard for anyone to decline. I mean, just look at that last picture. How moist and chewy can a cookie get? The original recipe called for peanut butter and chocolate chips, but I substituted white chocolate chips instead.   I was getting a little tired of the semisweet chocolate and peanut butter combo and wanted to change things up a bit. Adapted from Sugar Cooking.
