My Favorite Peanut Butter Cookies

– This is an excellent recipe. My family likes peanut butter cookies to be a little softer/chewier so I increased the flour by 1/4 cup and also added 1/4 cup more peanut butter. Also, I baked them on 350 for about 9 minutes or so- but watch carefully not too over bake them! They were just soooo good!

– I creamed the butter, peanut butter, and sugar with my hands. I also tried to beat the eggs with my hands. The hardest part though was sifting and stirring the flour into the mix with my hands. My mix turned out really lumpy and dry and I couldn’t get it to make balls. It just crumbled out of my hands when I rolled them together like sand. Don’t worry if you also do this! I found a way to fix it! Just add a qaurter stick of melted butter and a little dribble of milk. The cookies turned out crappy still. But if you like crappy cookies then this is a life saver!
