Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies for Joseph

So last week we posted a video to go with our video blog and in it we said that we were dedicating that week's blog to Joseph and as a tie to him we would make some cookies (which were one of his favorite treats). So here are the cookies we made. These cookies have become a new favorite of mine and if I make them then I can stop eating them. The first time I made them I think I ate ten in one day. So be warned they are addicting.

Add chocolate chips and mix till just incorporated.  If necessary, cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle.
