If there is a Hall of Fame for cookies, peanut butter cookies hold a place of honor, along with chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. They also happen to be my mother’s favorite cookie, the one cookie she requests when I’m in a cookie making mood.
The cookies are easy to make! The one gotcha is that in order to hold their cross hatch shape, it helps to chill the dough for several hours before baking.
