One of my favourite cookies of all time! Peanut Butter Cookies are a definite classic! These ones hold a special place in my heart and definitely bring me back. They're also absolutely addicting. You can't just have one, you need at least six. I'm not even kidding.
The cookies this recipe makes are soft, thick and full of peanut butter. They're quick and easy to make but I would definitely suggest refrigerating the dough before baking, they can be made without cooling the dough but it definitely helps for a thicker dough.
I love this recipe so much and having been making these cookies for years and years. I'd love to hear how you like it, so please comment below.
