Peanut Butter Cookies

For Peanut Butter Blossoms - add 6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips.

This is not something I eat anymore.

But we have peanut butter. And it's time to use it. I think my kiddos got tired of pbjs about 10 years ago. I don't know why I keep buying it when I know they'll be home for a few days. Habit, I guess.

Makes 48-50 cookies.

If you're making plain peanut butter cookies, press the balls for each cookie with a fork. 

When making peanut butter blossoms, you don't press the cookie balls. Which gives the finished cookies a blossom look. 

We've been using this recipe for decades (thanks Aunt Vickie) and have always added chocolate chips. But alas, the chocolate chips have no problem being gobbled up. Hmm. I guess I know what to stock up on.
