Hubber's Favorite Cookie

Hubs is not much for sweets.  His favorite foods consist of hamburgers, hoagies and steak.  But he does have a weakness for the peanut butter-chocolate combination.  These are his favorite cookies, adapted through 8 years of trial and tweaking.  They're a dense chewy cookie that (in my opinion) are best when ooey-gooey warm.

1/2 butter, softened
