Cookies are, without a doubt, my favorite dessert, sweet, snack, you name it. I also like them simple. Very rarely do I add more than one thing to cookie dough, this recipe being one exception, although I'm sure there would be other exceptions if the right recipe came my way. ;)
I've made these peanut-butter cookies a few times, and they're one cookie that Brad requests. In fact, he'd asked for these several times recently before I gave in and made them. I'm not sure why I hesitated; perhaps it's because I like them very much, too, and the last thing I need is a dozen cookies in my belly! They go down easy. Too easy. It's very hard to eat just one.
They come together very quickly, and although the dough does have to rest awhile, they're quick. I use that resting time for the dishes (the ones that won't fit in the dishwasher, anyway!) There are a lot of peanut-butter cookie recipes out there, and I'm sure they're great, but this is my favorite so far.

Gotta love peanut butter cookies. I don't know that I've seen a bad recipe for these yet!
Abby, I love cookies, too!

Seriously!?! I LOVE peanut butter cookies - these pictures are just pure evil. :-)
I don't really like to bake, but I love to make cookies. They're just fun and easy and make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, ya know? I love the fork marks on tops of the cookies too; it's the way my mom made them too.
Peanut butter cookies, must be really yummy!
These look perfect! I haven't attempted peanut butter cookies since the last recipe I tried failed miserably. Wish me luck!
Sounds great!!! I´ll have to make some peanut butter and try those!!! *They don´t sell peanutbutter here!)
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. :)
Yes it is very hard to eat just one peanut butter cookie. They go so well with a nice cold glass of milk just like when I was a kid!!!!!
