Twelve Days of Cookies: Peanut Butter Cookies
These are classic Christmas cookies. I have great memories of making these when I was a kid. These have a great peanut butter flavor and are a great crispy cookie. They are very easy to make and are a must for a well-rounded cookie platter.Make sure that you use creamy peanut butter to make these. They spread out quite well and will be lumpy if you use crunchy peanut butter.These cookies would be great to make a cookie butter with if you have leftovers!
