Snickerdoodle Peanut Butter Chip Brownies

These taste a lot like snickerdoodle cookies with peanut butter in the center.  The cinnamon sugar compliments the peanut butter perfectly. Paired off with coffee and tea they're a great match. Reminds me like a coffee cake in texture. They're a dense like  scratch cake. I really think they became a favorite with the kids when they were little. After they cooled I added the extra chips on top for garnishing these are perfect for any type of travel as they will hold up well. They also freeze great.
