These Peanut Butter Cookies are a family favorite that I remember making many, many times growing up. Yum! I can still remember the smell of warm peanut butter filling the house and picture the counter full of cooling Peanut Butter Cookies. These are seriously the best peanut butter cookies I have ever tasted. I prefer these cookies to be soft and chewy, but they can also be cooked a little longer for a crunchier Peanut Butter Cookie. Chewy or crunchy, they are still delicious!
After mixing up the cookie dough, they are formed into balls and placed on a baking sheet.
Press each cookie down with the tines of a fork to make a nice pattern on top.
These can be cooked slightly underdone to keep them nice and soft. If you prefer a crunchier cookie, just bake them a little longer.
