I can only be thankful that my husband doesn't love these cookies, because that means ALL THE MORE FOR ME! :) This is the best recipe for peanut butter cookies that my family has ever found, and it's no longer in print. It comes from the original 1963 Betty Crocker's Cooky Book. There's a new edition of the old book, but they've slightly changed some of the recipes. Not cool. Anyway, you won't find fault with these!
Hot from the oven!
Thick and chewy, yet delicately buttery :) Enjoy!
From one hearty appletite to another...happy baking!
