Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies

The crunchier the better. That's my motto.

Some people like soft cookies while others like crunchy cookies. I like both but when it comes to these cookies, I prefer them crunchy. So here's my Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies recipe.

What helps make these so crunchy is that I use crunchy peanut butter. You certainly can use whatever type your heart desires but the consistency of the crunchy peanut butter just makes this cookie in my humble opinion.

Ever wonder who invented the peanut butter cookie? I did so I looked it up and found this cool article.
