Shortbread-Peanut Butter Chocolate Triangles
Peanut Butter Chocolate Shortbread is a great marriage of my two favorite duos’. I love peanut butter and I love shortbread, so the two coming together to make a fabulous cookie is a can’t-go-wrong creation.
Peanut Butter
Ahh, just love that buttery cookie of the shortbread and recently I just haven’t been able to get enough of peanut butter lately. I lather it on apples, toast, or simply scoop it out with a spoon and enjoy every bite. Yum!
There is not a day that goes by that I don’t have this classic peanut butter staple. Lately, it gets loaded into my fruit smoothies and love the taste of it along with the fruit.
Recently, I have discovered the new flavor of peanut butter with honey, its fabulous and is what I used in this recipe. Of course, you can use any peanut butter you like. Crunchy peanut butter would provide a great added texture element to this peanut butter cookie recipe.
