    I made this recipe and I have to say that it's the best Peanut Butter Cookie I ever had in my life and I'm 65 yrs old and have tasted many different peanut butter cookies. But this little cookie was a "HUGE-Hit" with my family and friends that everyone wanted to know how I made them even one person who's not big on peanut butter/cookies fan but he really loved these cookies. Of I told everyome that I put all the credit where it belongs and that's with (TheCookingFoodie.com). I'm pretty confident

    I added 1/4 cup of milk to the dough it was very dry and crumbly with 2 cups of flour. Made about 30 small cookies. Delicious 😋
