I love chocolate chip cookies so when I saw this on Pinterest and it said "these actually taste like cookies!" I had to give it a try.  A little nibble of the batter and I was excited - pretty good!  Here they are right before going into the oven. 

Unfortunately they really don't look much different when they come out ...

Hubby saw them and declared "It looks like you sh*t on a cookie sheet!" ... thanks for the vote of confidence honey.  Of course he then proceeded to grab two and shove them in his mouth.  His verdict  "these are weird" ... I agree to a point but that doesn't mean I'd say they aren't good.  They just are not what you think of when you think of chocolate chip cookies.   The main taste is the peanut butter and they stay very doughy.  They are great with a glass of milk - you actually need it because otherwise they stick to the roof of your mouth like a spoonful of peanut butter does.  Maybe if I'd used the almond butter as the recipe called for they'd be different but I doubt it.  

Of course Hubby finished the "weird" cookies quickly ... out of more than two dozen I ended up only getting three!  Typical ...
