So I have a confession to make, I actually do not care for peanut butter cookies. However I am aware that I am in the monitory on this and just because I do not like something doesn’t mean I cannot share a great recipes for it. This is a good family recipe or even something to take to a work event. People go crazy for peanut butter, for whatever reason. Enjoy!
