THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES IN THE WORLD!
I got this recipe from a wife of a co-worker. The recipe is called "Peanut Butter Cookies" but they are honestly the best peanut butter cookies that I have ever tasted in my life. I have not made these myself before because my boyfriend isn't crazy about peanut butter cookies so I do not know how much the recipe will make so I am going to give it my best estimated guess. For all of you peanut butter cookie lovers, I really hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I did.

BEST EVER PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
These are the best peanut butter cookies I have ever eaten. They are soft and chewy. They are great when you add the nuts and chocolate chips. Whenever I take these cookies to a potluck or family get together, people always request that I bring these cookies. I got this recipe out a cook book a number of years ago. I have changed the recipe slightly from the original.

Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth, rich flavor. Natural peanut butter can also be used, but it may result in a drier cookie.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

These peanut butter cookies are a classic treat that are easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a batch of delicious peanut butter cookies that will disappear quickly!
