These Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies are an absolute must try! This simple recipe is a family favorite at our house, and is delicious each and every time!
I recently got this new Baking Sheet Set, it includes two baking sheets, two cooling racks, and two silicone baking mats and is super easy to clean and it stacks well! I have used it a few times and found that it cooks evenly as well!
I am always looking for simple cookie recipes because I love to keep them stocked in the cupboard. They are a perfect after school snack for the kiddos and always hit the spot! They also are fun to make with the kids! They love rolling them up in balls and making the criss cross pattern on the top!
