It has been so long since I made Peanut Butter Cookies that I couldn't wait to try your recipe! We were not disappointed, these cookies are delicious! DH came home from work and had a half dozen of these gems in his big bear paw before I could even say hello. He loved them as well. Thanks for sharing. *Made for Spring PAC 2009*
