Peanut Butter Ganache Chocolate Cookies

January 6, 2015 by myrecipeconfessions

Peanut Butter Ganache Chocolate Cookies

Sometimes you just need a super soft chocolate cookie smeared with a creamy peanut butter ganache and sprinkled with chopped peanuts.

After all, it is Tuesday and we still have a few more days until the weekend. No need to thank me, that’s what friends are for.

With love from my kitchen to yours,
