OH YUM!!! I Have my second sheet in the oven right now and the first is almost gone! The texture right out of the oven is heavenly. These are seriously FANTASTIC! Just enough peanut butter taste without being overwhelming. I also got closer to about 50 cookies.

Great peanut buttery flavor and great textured cookies. We love these with a cold glass of milk.

This is the best peanut butter cookie ever. The only thing I did differently was used half butter and half crisco. I won a blue ribbon at the fair. This dough keeps very well in fridge if you don't want to bake all the cookies at once.
