THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

I will admit that when I saw name of these cookies I thought “Whoa, that name sets some high expectations.” Expectations succeeded.

My sister-in-law Kristy just came to visit and we finished a huge bag of peanut butter M&Ms pretty much by ourselves in no time at all.

Her husband affectionately calls her “The Peanut Butter Princess” so when she posted these cookies on her own blog Boys Ahoy, I knew they would be good.

The Best Peanut Butter Cookies So what makes a peanut butter cookie good to you? To me it has to be soft, packed with peanut butter flavor, and…well that’s about it.

The Best Peanut Butter Cookies And to me peanut butter and chocolate are like mac n’ cheese, bacon and eggs, Lucy and Ethel. One cannot exist without the other.
