Lazy Man's Version of Pharris' Peanut Cookies

Submitted by Ms B.

"When I was growing up, the local bakery made the best peanut cookies. One day, with a large tub of peanut butter cookie dough purchased from a school fundraiser on hand, I had the inspiration to recreate those goodies. These aren't exactly that cookie, but they are very good with a different texture than most peanut butter cookies and lots of chunky peanuts."
