Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies
One of my kids very favorite treats are homemade peanut butter cookies, they have to be soft with a glass of cold milk and my boys go crazy for them. This peanut butter cookies recipe is one that I've had for years, it's that go to recipe to make when I want the perfect cookies!
I make smaller cookies that are about 1 inch, these fit perfectly in with lunches, snacks, etc. The recipe makes about 6 dozen cookies, so you have plenty to share with friends and neighbors too!
