Awesome Peanut Butter Cookies

KTM's Note:

I got this recipe from a cookie magazine. They are quick and easy and have been a hit every time. I have made them with almond butter to replace the peanut butter and they were just as good. The dough is a bit crumbly but they seem turn out. They don't seem to last very long, posting it here so I can find it

Now that's a nice combo, chocolate & PB, & it makes for VERY SATISFYING COOKIES! I almost kept all of these here at home, but had told my other half that he'd have 10-12 of these to take & share at work, so . . . Still, I've now got the recipe, so no big deal ~ Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
