Classic Peanut Butter Cookies.
I’m sharing with you a classic recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies. I have two peanut butter cookie recipes that I love! The other one I use often to make heart shaped peanut butter cookies and peanut butter blossom cookies.
There was a point in my life where just about the only cookies I would bake were peanut butter cookies. I would make them over and over again because I like them that much! Thankfully I did branch out and start making sugar cookies, etc. again.
I have to warn you the cookie dough is pretty sticky so I like to use a cookie scoop to drop the cookies onto the baking sheet. Then you flatten them down by making a criss cross shape across the top with a fork.
Makes about 24 cookies.
