Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirls

My mom found this recipe on the side of a Cheerios box back in the 1970s. These cookies were an instant hit and my sisters and I have been making them ever since for our own families. Make a batch and watch them disappear!!

Recipe yield: 3 dozen cookies

2 cups creamy peanut butter
