These are really good cookies.Simple to make,no fancy ingredients and very tasty.The taste of the peanut butter shone through without being overpowering.The cookie itself has a lovely light texture making them very more-ish. Lots of nodding from the family while stuffing these into their little mouths indicated their approval. Thanks for posting.Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

In doing this, the cooking time changed to 8 minutes. Some recipes don't convert well but this did with flying colors. I'm sure they fantastic as posted too. Thanks for posting.
