It seems we either love peanut butter or we don't. I happen to love peanut butter, but steer clear of popping too many cookies in my mouth when my husband is near. One might think he had an allergy to peanuts from his ability to whiff the first, escaping trace from the lifting of the lid. Worse if I seductively lick it off my lips as he enters the room. Nothing like the aroma of peanut butter to kill the mood. Perhaps his dislike stems from his brother's great love of peanut butter - one got the love gene, the other the don't like (I won't say hate, as he wouldn't like that word too much!).
While these peanut butter cookies are nothing to complain about, we all (minus my husband) concurred that the "Classic Peanut Butter Cookies" on the same page of the cookbook is tastier and creamier. Perhaps this is due to the fact it has 1/2 cup more butter....yum, I love butter. But if you need to save that last stick of butter, then by all means, these cookies will satisfy your peanut butter tastebuds just fine!
Hardy Appetit!
