LOVE Peanut Butter Cookies!
I think one of the reasons they don't seem as P-nutty as our childhood days is that back then more people used the 'natural' peanut butter that you had to stir the oil that was floating on top in to the thicker peanut solids at the bottom before you used it. I bet I was 10 before Mom ever even bought that emulsified peanut butter like JIF & P. Pan. (I'm not 'that' old, but Mom was (and is) a home-baker and rarely used mixes. Lucky Me!)
Today, when I make these cookies I use the 'natural' PB, but pour off the oil and use the really thick (and I use CRUNCHY) peanut butter that is left to make my cookies- VERY P-nutty!
Love the recipes & the blog!
