Dining from the Dollar Store: Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies are a hit at our house. There's nothing quite these cookies with their rich, peanut-buttery taste and their cross-hatched tops. I found the recipe online (though I did use all brown sugar rather than the cup each of brown and granulated sugar). Enjoy.

Baking soda and vanilla.

Combine.

Roll pieces of the cookie dough into balls and put them on the cookie sheets.

Use a fork to press a cross-hatched pattern into the cookies' tops by pressing down the fork once in each direction.

Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes until light brown. Set the cookies on a cooling rack,using a spatula.

Yum.
