Amazing. At the store, I asked my husband to look up peanut butter cookie recipes and found a really complicated one. I said no. When I got home, I typed in Simple Peanut Butter Cookies, and this one came up. Love it. Had everything in the house that I needed. And yes the sweetness has to do with personal preference. I think they are a little sweet but we don't eat very sweet things in our house often.

I've been making these cookies for many years. When my kids were little, we would hide a Hershey's Kiss in the middle. What a nice surprise to bite into one & have all that chocolate!! Of course, you have to make them a little bigger to hide the Kiss.

I thought the dough was a bit gooopy, but they turned out perfect, thin and chewy and peanut buttery goodness. I don't usually like peanut butter cookies, but I liked these.
