Peanut Butter Cookies with Peanut butter and chocolate morsels

If you haven't already noticed, I am partial to a bit of peanut butter... well ok a lot of peanut butter! It's something I never used to like eating but now I just can't get enough of it. I still had 1 packet of the Tollhouse Swirled Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter morsels left.  I made the recipe from the pack last time but it wasn't terribly exciting. I saw a recipe for peanut butter cookies on one of my favourite blogs - the caked crusader and thought it would be perfect with the addition of these chocolate chips.  The result is truly amazing cookies especially if you love peanut butter. The smell of the cookie alone is enough to make your mouth water.  The cookies are light and crunchy and full of peanut buttery goodness :)
