Recipe Review
Zosia from Toronto, ON
The authors describe this as a “scone/cookie hybrid”; it does taste like a peanut butter-chocolate chip cookie, and a good one at that, but with the moist and tender texture of a good scone.
I didn’t have crunchy peanut butter – something that was apparently very important for texture – so I used a scant ½ cup of creamy and added about 2tbsp chopped, dry roasted peanuts. I made them the night before and baked them from a frozen state; they took just a few minutes longer than the time in the recipe.
They were a huge hit…dense, but quite delicious warm and still good hours later. I particularly liked the crunchy sugar topping which added a little extra to the not-too-sweet scone.

Thanks for the great review, and especially for the photo and description of the hybrid texture. Looking forward to giving these a try.

An additional note - I used half the quantity of chocolate chips called for in the recipe.

Brave of you, Zosia - in my house my kids typically request TWICE the number of chocolate chips ;-)
