Now what I'm about to say is embarrassing, but I'll admit it. After four years of knowing my boyfriend, I didn't know his favorite dessert. Horrible! In my defense, he loves so many desserts that it was hard for me to deceiver which one is at the top of his list.
I absolutely hate asking these types of things because I love surprising people, but I had no choice. He told me that he used to buy Mrs. Fields peanut butter cookies dipped in chocolate. After hearing this, I connected with my good friend Pinterest and found a recipe.
I'll eat a peanut butter cookie, but it's definitely not one of my favorites. I prefer white chocolate macadamia nut. But when I tried this cookie, all of my previous thoughts changed. They turned out better than I expected, which is why I kept a few for myself. :)
The recipe that www.mybakingaddiction.com put together is so delicious! If you'd like to try them yourself, I listed everything you need to know below. Thank you, My Baking Addiction for bringing these delights into my life!
Happy birthday, Brett! I love you so much and I hope you enjoyed the cookies.
