Mix until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and place the bowl into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill slightly.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line sheet trays with parchment paper.

Step 10

Roll 1 ½ tablespoons of the dough with your hands to form balls. Place on the parchment paper lined sheet trays about 3 inches apart. Top with more peanut butter chips if you wish for a pretty presentation.
