Peanut Butter Cookies

"I recently found this recipe stuck away in my files it goes back 25 years, it is the best PB cookie around! Add in finely chopped peanuts and/or mini chocolate chips if desired. Plan ahead the dough needs to chill for minimum 2 hours before baking. If you are doubling this recipe prepare two separate recipes in 2 bowls do not double the complete recipe into one bowl, it will effect the texture of the cookie. You will LOVE this cookie, I promise!"
