Blue Ribbon Peanut Butter Cookies image

I used this recipe when I won a Blue Ribbon at the South Plains Fair in Lubbock, Texas in 1981. It came from a cookbook my mother received as a Wedding gift in 1952. I don't know the name of the Cookbook and the only copy of the recipe I have is hand written by my mother which is priceless to me. A batch of these cookies was the only thing my father in-law wanted from me for his birthday, Father's day and Christmas. I hope you enjoy them. The real trick to them is not to over cook them (it will make them to crunchy) or under cook them ( it will make them to soft), you want a balance between the two.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these cookies were really good. The chocolate chips helped to balance out the peanut butter flavor.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
