Can you believe in all this time I have hosted this website, that I have not posted a classic peanut butter cookie? That ends today!

These peanut butter cookies are crunchy around the edges and soft in the center. These cookies are full of buttery flavor and of course peanut butter! They are actually pretty easy to make with pretty standard ingredients. I mean look at the golden brown color of these, picture perfect! You can even add in some (1/3 Cup) chopped peanuts for an extra added crunch throughout!
