I am not a big cookie fan. Sure, I like cookies but I am not Cookie Monster who devours every cookie in site. But these Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies I did devour. They were sooo soft and actually chewy. I love a peanut butter cookie that tastes a lot like peanut butter. Sometimes peanut butter cookies can be crunchy and hard, and hardly even taste like peanut butter! These are the exact opposite and perfect for the peanut butter lover.
