It's been ages since I made these, so I thought I'd make them for my class today!

Umm...one of my favorites! Those look so good. It's literally been years since I've made them. I think I need to take a plate of them into work. hahaha ...and just hold back a few for us. : )
By the way, I actually baked the cookies for 6 minutes at 370 because my oven bakes too hot. The cookies turned out soft and chewy instead of crunchy...I like them better that way. =)
Peanut Butter cookies are great, especially when fortified with Peanut M&M's!
Dr. Peters likes crispy cookies. I'm wondering how it would be to make peanut butter cookies but roll them out and cut them with a cookies cutter like we do sugar cookies. Maybe I'll make a batch and use my clover cutter for St. Patrick's Day. I would maybe try green sugar sprinx on them.
