I will be on travel for work this week, and I need a quick dessert I can pack ahead to keep me happy while stuck in a hotel room watching more commercials than the television show. The choice for this trip is peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. They are small, easy to pack, and delicious. One of these can make a night by yourself into a party.
