I tried Gideon's Bakehouse cookies in central Florida and I instantly became obsessed with their peanut butter crunch cookie. That's no surprise considering I have a bit of a peanut butter obsession. Proof of my peanut butter obsession can be found here, here and here. So when it came to these triple peanut butter cookies, I became instantly hooked.
Seeing as how I live four hours away, I decided I needed to make a Gideon's Bakehouse copycat recipe ASAP. This recipe is my take on their peanut butter crunch cookie. The cookie has a peanut butter base, contains honey roasted peanuts and peanut butter chips. The final touch is a sprinkle of flaked sea salt that heightens the flavors.
