These cookies are great. My Hubby only likes "soft" cookies and these are just perfect. Thanks for the great recipe!!

This is the exact recipe that my Mother used to make with me and my sister when we were kids! It comes from a children's cookbook called "The Cookie Book" by Eva Moore. This was my first cookbook, which my mom ordered for me from Scholastic's back in the 70's! (Boy am I getting old! LOL) I alway use "crunchy" peanut butter and "Dark" brown sugar! This recipe makes the best peanut butter cookies!

Using natural peanut butter improves the taste considerable. We used the USDA stuff when we were "poor" and it tasted much better than the processed brands.

This peanut butter cookie recipe taste just like they were made at a bakery. They baked up well also. I wouldn't change a thing and I'd buy them if they were in a bakery. They weren't greasy or too thin. My family loved the buttery taste. I'd serve these to anyone that's a gourmet cookie lover.
