These ultra chewy cookies are rich and fudgy like a brownie with creamy peanut butter taste.It’s interesting how things calm down during the summer. Everyone seems to move at a slower pace. Most people aren’t as focused on work, but rather seem to be on vacation mode. The lovely weather is a good excuse to be distracted or perhaps the longer days make you feel like you have more time to get things done, so you don’t move as fast. Whatever the reason, summer is a good time to be lazy and take the time to “smell the roses.”

These ultra chewy cookies are rich and fudgy like a brownie with creamy peanut butter taste.And speaking of lazy, here’s a great recipe for when the kids are nagging you for cookies and you don’t want to get off the couch. Just 4 ingredients, one bowl, and less than 10 minutes in the oven and you’ve got fresh baked cookies!

These chocolate peanut butter cookies have a truly homemade taste with a fraction of the work. The recipe is from an old Kraft Canada magazine I clipped years ago and it was time I tried it. Chocolate cake mix is the main ingredient and the addition of cream cheese makes this recipe unique compared to most cake-mix cookies. The tanginess from the cream cheese cuts the sweetness from the cake mix, which I really like because I find cake mixes tend to be a little too sweet for me. Then there is simply peanut butter for flavor and an egg to hold everything together.

The taste is sweet, chocolatey, and nutty with a slight saltiness from the peanut butter. The brownie-like texture gives a new spin to a typical peanut butter cookie and the criss-cross design gives it an old-school feel.
