Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies

This peanut butter cookie recipe is very similar to my other you can find here peanut butter cookie recipe, but with a few minor modifications.

I suspect I like most all Peanut Butter cookies because I grew up eating Peanut Butter and Jam sandwiches. I thank God I am not allergic to peanuts! In any case, there is nothing super special about this recipe compared to the hundreds of peanut butter cookie recipes out there, but I can assure you that you will absolutely love these cookies!

We all eat, and it would be a sad waste of opportunity to eat badly.

If you love your mom’s old-time peanut butter cookies, then this recipe if for you! Super easy to make and if you like to bake, you probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry.
