PEANUT BUTTER CRISSCROSS COOKIES
This is a Cookie recipe from my Aunt. She was making these for her kids back in the 1960s, and they still love them. I love them, too. Even for BREAKFAST! And any cookie made with creamy or chunky peanut butter is destined to disappear fast!
Peanut Butter Cookies seem to be running neck-and-neck with Chocolate Chip Cookies in popularity.
The recipe makes 5 dozen cookies – – – unless you want to make each one super-sized. I would!
