THE ULTIMATE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE

Sure, they might look ordinary on the outside, but trust me on this one. Just one bite, and those men are sure to fall right out of that football trance.

You don’t even have to be a peanut butter fanatic to fall hopelessly in love with these cookies. Chances are, if you have tastebuds, you will LOVE these cookies. However, if you have a peanut allergy, I would like to send out my sincerest and deepest condolences…

Because these are definitely the best peanut butter cookies in the entire universe.

Seriously, everything about this cookie is perfection. In my opinion, the best peanut butter cookies are soft and chewy, not brittle and crumbly. Biting into one of these is pure soft-baked heaven. And with an entire cup of peanut butter baked into the dough, you’ll undoubtedly be blissing out over how lusciously peanut buttery this cookie is. Not to mention, the extra 1/4 cup in the truffle filling.
