Peanut Butter Chocolate Whirls
Why I Love This Recipe
One of my favorite cookies! I only chilled the rolled dough 10 minutes. I was told that if you chill the dough longer, the chocolate cracks when you slice it. I didn't use all of the melted chocolate; maybe I had around 2 Tablespoons extra. The dough is really soft.
