Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love chocolate and peanut butter, they go together great and kids love these easy to make cookies. You mix these like you do most cookies or cakes. Beat the fats until creamy and in a different bowl you mix your dry ingredients then mix them together. I know there is much debate about how to do this, dry to wet or wet to fat; both work. However, Alton Brown (one of my heroes) recommends the muffin method, that means adding the wet goods to the dry ones and just mixing until batter comes together, it doesn't have to be smooth.
