Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

When your child loves Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as much as mine does ... you will be pleasantly surprised by this Toll House recipe. Be sure to use a great quality peanut butter. My favorite is Adams and the No-Stir variety is best. I promise it will satisfy the Reese's lovers in your home.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
