I’ve told you several times about my intense love of cookies. While chocolate chip cookies are probably my favorite, I enjoy them all. For my husband it’s a bit harder for him to choose a favorite. Peanut butter cookies remind him of his childhood and nostalgia can definitely make things taste even better.
The ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies may not always be in my pantry, but I can always make peanut butter cookies. I’ve been using this recipe since I was a teenager and it’s just so easy and equally as delicious as a recipe with a ton of ingredients. Try this peanut butter cookie recipe that uses only three ingredients for yourself and you’ll be a believer.
