Best Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Yesterday, I talked about how the cookie crumbles in marriage.

Today, I will only talk about these delectable peanut butter cookies and how they crumble oh-so-fabulously in your mouth.

Honestly, this is the best peanut butter cookie recipe I have ever tried. I wish I could remember where I found it ~ perhaps Martha ~ but I couldn’t find anything like it on her site. I don’t know the origin but I do know this:

• They smell amazing when you’re baking them. Aroma fills the whole house …
• They are so peanut-buttery that they taste incredibly healthy.
• The dough is guilt-free! Did you hear that? No eggs in this recipe ~ eat away!
• They’re great baked up with a tall glass of milk or unbaked rolled up in tiny pieces and smushed in chocolate ice cream.
• This.is.the.best.peanut.butter.cookie.recipe.ever.

Enjoy!
