Peanut Butter Cookies! And soft ones at that. Crunchy and thin cookies are generally not in my line of business. These are gooey and delightful. These have gotten some “best peanut butter cookies I have ever had” comments and a recipe like that, for one of the classics, feels excellent to have in your recipe box.
