Peanut Butter Cookies

Delicious, easy to make peanut butter cookies that are soft and not crumbly.

My dad’s favorite cookie are these peanut butter cookies!Growing up this is one of the most made cookies in our home. There is nothing like the smell of cookies in the oven.

Now that I am married and out of the house the smell of these cookies brings back all the childhood memories! Luckily my kids love peanut butter so they love to make these cookies together. They love making the criss-cross pattern and sprinkling on the sugar. Sounds heavenly, right?!
