Peanut Butter Cookies

So as part baking GALS project, I decided I would bake some peanut butter cookies. The reason I decided to do this was because I wanted to bake something different, and try to stay away from the traditional chocolate chip cookie.

I must admit, this was a really easy recipe, and the final product was good. I hope everyone else enjoys them. Like always if you do try this recipe I would love to get your input. Happy baking!
