This is one of my favorite simple peanut butter cookie recipes. THESE COOKIES ARE VERY SWEET they end up tasting more like candy than cookies. Add a 1/2 cup of flour or reduce sugar by 1/2 cup to achieve a less candylike taste.

    Using a tablespoon, spoon the dough onto a nonstick or greased cookie sheet approximately 2 inches apart.
  • 3
    Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown. NOTE: These cookies can be baked for as little as 6 minutes depending on your oven, altitude, etc. Adjust baking time accordingly

    Let the cookies cool for about 1 minute

    Once cookies have cooled, they can be stored in an airtight plastic container with waxpaper seperating the layers.
