Directions
Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies, When peanut butter cookies are requested in my home, this is the recipe I turn to It’s one of my favourites!, We didn’t care for these cookies at all They were overly dry and very crumbly , I made these cookies and the kids loved them, but I thought they were just not quite sweet enough and a little too cakey I prefer sweet, chewey peanut butter cookies

If Desired, You Could Stir in About 1/2 Cup (or More) of Chocolate Chips Now; I Usually Don't (even Though I'm a Chocoholic) as I Often Just Want a Pure Peanut Butter Cookie With Nothing Else in It, not Even Peanut Bits. |

Stash Dough in Fridge While You Clean Up the Dishes; This Step Isn't Absolutely Necessary but the Fridge Slightly Firms Up the Dough, Making It Easier to Work With. |

Drop by Heaping Teaspoons Onto Cookie Sheets and Press Down, Criss-Cross Style, With a Fork-- the Classic Peanut Butter Cookie Look. |

Do not Worry If They Don't Look Done; Cookies Firm Up as They Cool and If You Want Chewier Cookies It Is Very Important not to Overbake Them. |
