Chewy & Chocolatey Peanut Butter Cookies

what could be better than peanut butter cups in a chewy cookie? Well, I know, peanut butter cups in a HUGE chewy cookie. It's great, I made them and everyone wanted some. Of course, being the greedy person that i am ;-) I didn't share. Boy were my friend's jealous!
